Session 5 Representative drawings for construction

TOTAL TIME: 1 Hour

OBJECTIVES: To arrive at an understanding of the different types of drawings used to represent design of machinery for construction.

To practice drawing and tracing.

To learn the names of the parts of windmills using drawings.

MATERIALS: Pencils, typewriter paper and straight-edge for all participants.

PROCEDURES:

Step 1: 5 minutes

Pass out pencils, paper, and examples of two and three dimensional and exploded or isometric drawings.

Step 2: 10 minutes

Compare types of drawings and practice drawing or tracing them.

Trainer Note

If possible, have scale model of a type of mill that is to be built during this training. Point out the features of this mill that correspond to the drawings.

Step 3: 5 minutes

Pass out overhead, front, and side view drawings and compare them.

Step 4:

Pass out and discuss cross-sectional drawings, making sure that everyone understands them and how they differ from the previous handouts.

Step 5: 35 minutes

Draw or trace the examples.

RESOURCES: Copies of Attachments 5-A and 5-B
