Engineering Graphics and Design - Sectional Views and Isometric Projections

In this engineering design course you will study technical drawing with a focus on sectional views and projections. This course guides you through the finer details of sections and sectional views, alongside detailed explanations on the classification of each, and the purpose each illustration serves. You go on to explore the definition and types of cutting planes such as frontal, vertical, oblique, profile and more. 

Next, you will dive into sectional views. Learn to distinguish between half and full sections, as well as their uses. Study the various thread lines and their meanings followed by a variety of sections - offset, revolved and more - and find out what makes them unique within the engineering and design fields. You conclude this section with a discussion of the typical machine elements of sectional views and learn how to draw and correctly illustrate a sectional view of multiple different objects and assemblies. 

This course’s final module introduces you to both parallel and perspective graphical projections. As you discover parallel projections, you will learn about orthographics and axonometric projections. Going further, the material demonstrates the three classifications: you will cover the dimetric and trimetric projections, but the focus will be on isometric projections. Study the different isometric planes, axes and lines, and how dimensioning and labelling work within isometric drawings alongside the analysis of examples to help your understanding. Whether you are an engineer or a designer, this specialist technical course will expand your knowledge and provide niche opportunities for furthering your career.
