Learning Outcomes
Course Objectives:
The learning outcomes for this course are consistent with the requirements outlined in the National
Occupational Skill Standards, the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), and the International
Organization for Standardization (ISO).
Sectional Views
 Describe the concept of a sectional view
 Define what is meant by a cutting plane
 Identify seven types of sections (full, half, broken-out, revolved, removed, offset, and aligned)
 Draw the following sections: full, half, broken-out, revolved, removed, offset, aligned, thin wall, and
assembly
