This lesson plan provides a structured approach to teaching the Computer Aided Engineering Drawing course,
covering the fundamental concepts and practical applications of engineering drawing and CAD.

Key Improvements:
• Variations: Each batch gets slightly different numerical values, shapes, and orientations, ensuring fairness
while assessing the same concepts.
• Alignment: Questions are strictly aligned with the topics covered in each 4-week block.
• Completeness: The sets cover all the major areas of the syllabus.
Remember to:
• Provide clear diagrams/sketches for the dimensioning and orthographic projection questions.
• Adjust the complexity of the pictorial views based on your students' level.
• Always double-check the accuracy of the questions and their solutions before the assessment.
ACTIVITY QUESTIONS
You're right to ask for activity questions! These are crucial for applying the concepts. Here's a breakdown of
activity/practice questions aligned with the syllabus, suitable for student assignments and portfolio
evaluation:
• Objective: To familiarize students with drawing instruments, line types, and drawing sheet layout.
• Activity Questions:
▪ Draw a standard A2 drawing sheet layout. Include the title block with all necessary
information (Institution name, title, scale, student details, etc.).
▪ Divide the drawing sheet into specified sections for different exercises (e.g., one section for
line types, one for material symbols).
2. Line Types:
▪ Draw various types of lines (visible, hidden, center, dimension, etc.) as per standard
conventions.
▪ Create a drawing that incorporates different line types to represent a simple 2D object (e.g.,
a block with a hole).
▪ Research and draw the conventional symbols for at least ten different engineering materials
(e.g., steel, cast iron, aluminum, wood, glass).
II. Dimensioning
• Activity Questions:
▪ Provide a simple geometric figure. Ask students to draw it to a given scale (e.g., 1:1, 1:2, 2:1)
and dimension it using both aligned and unidirectional systems.
2. Chain Dimensioning:
▪ Provide a drawing where chain dimensioning is most appropriate (e.g., a series of holes or
steps). Ask students to dimension it using the chain method.
3. Parallel Dimensioning:
▪ Provide a drawing where parallel dimensioning is suitable (e.g., a component with several
parallel features). Ask students to dimension it using the parallel method.
4. Combined Dimensioning:
▪ Provide a drawing that requires a combination of chain, parallel, and other dimensioning
techniques. Ask students to dimension it appropriately.
5. Progressive Dimensioning:
• Objective: To understand the concept of projection and represent points in different quadrants.
• Activity Questions:
1. Draw the three principal views (front, top, and side) of the following points:
▪ Point A: 20mm above HP, 30mm in front of VP, 40mm from the left profile plane.
▪ Point B: 35mm below HP, 45mm behind VP, 25mm from the right profile plane.
▪ Point C: 50mm above HP, 20mm behind VP, 30mm from the left profile plane.
▪ Point D: 15mm below HP, 15mm in front of VP, 50mm from the right profile plane.
• Objective: To draw projections of lines in various orientations with respect to the principal planes.
• Activity Questions:
1. Draw the three principal views of a line PQ, 60mm long, for the following conditions:
V. Projection of Planes
• Objective: To draw projections of plane figures inclined to one or both of the principal planes.

▪ A circular lamina of 60mm diameter, resting on HP with a point on the circumference,
inclined at 45° to HP.

▪ An equilateral triangular lamina of 55 mm side, resting on HP with one edge, inclined at 60°
to HP.

• Activity Questions:
1. Draw the projections of the following solids for the given conditions:
▪ A triangular prism with a base side of 40mm and a height of 70mm, resting on HP with one
of its rectangular faces.
▪ A square pyramid with a base side of 45mm and a height of 65mm, resting on HP with one of
its base edges, such that the axis is inclined at 30° to HP.
▪ A cylinder with a base diameter of 60mm and a height of 80mm, resting on HP with its base,
such that the axis is inclined at 40° to HP.
▪ A cone with a base diameter of 50mm and a height of 75mm, resting on HP with its base,
such that the axis is inclined at 45° to the HP.
• Activity Questions:
▪ Provide pictorial views (isometric or oblique) of various objects. Ask students to draw the
three principal orthographic views (front, top, and side). Start with simple objects and
gradually increase complexity.
▪ For the same pictorial views, ask students to create solid models using CAD software.
▪ Create sectional views of the solid models as per given cutting planes.
Important Notes:
• Variety: Provide a wide variety of problems within each topic to ensure comprehensive practice.
• Complexity: Start with simpler problems and gradually increase the difficulty level.
• Real-World Applications: Whenever possible, relate the drawing exercises to real-world engineering
components and applications.
• CAD Integration: Integrate CAD exercises wherever applicable to reinforce the concepts and develop CAD
skills.
• Portfolio Evaluation: Use a rubric (as provided in the document) to evaluate the activity submissions for
portfolio assessment.
By using these activity questions, you can effectively enhance student learning and provide them with the
necessary practice to master engineering drawing skills.
