Technical drawing Handout of application exercises

Abstract

Currently, students in technological fields and engineering students are regularly faced with modeling for simulation purposes as well as the design of parts and assemblies throughout their academic journey. A strong command of technical drawing is therefore a key asset to facilitate these modeling and design activities. This document, dedicated to technical drawing application exercises, is intended for students in higher education institutions specializing in applied sciences and technological disciplines. It compiles a series of exercises given to students between 2015 and 2025, used in practical workshops, supervised assignments, and examination assessments. The entire content has been developed in accordance with the official curriculum. The aim is to help students develop a rigorous approach to solving application exercises and to strengthen their spatial visualization skills in relation to different types of graphic representations—such as fittings, orthographic projection, perspective views, sections and cross-sections, as well as dimensional dimensioning. It also contributes to improving the analysis of assembly drawings while adhering to fundamental rules, conventions, and drafting standards, in order to ensure effective reading and understanding of detail and assembly drawings. For preparatory classes, assembly drawings will be used as an educational tool for learning the study of assembly drawings. Subsequently, a part will be selected to produce its detailed drawing. Students working with SolidWorks will then be able to model the devices in 3D, carry out their assembly, and generate their technical drawings.
