Master Syllabus DF1023, Auxiliary Views

Credits 3 Lab Hours 1 Lecture Hours 2 Clinical Hours 0
Course Description

This course instructs the drafting student in the creation of drawing views of inclined and oblique lines and planes. Many objects are shaped such that their principal surfaces are not parallel to principal planes of projection. A parallel or perpendicular line-of-sight view must be created to accurately describe these inclined or oblique planes. Topics include planes of projection, projection lines, measurement procedures for auxiliary views, primary and secondary auxiliary views, and developments.

For each unit of credit, a minimum of three hours per week with one of the hours for class and two hours for studying/preparation outside of class is expected.

Program and/or Department Mission Statement

The Industrial Technology Division is a committed leader in innovative workforce development by meeting the dynamic needs of business and industry through the development of student-centered education, technical excellence, and citizenship.
