Engineering Graphics — What This Subject Is About
To teach the language engineers draw in — lines, projections and sections — so you can read a drawing and make one, by hand and on computer.
Common Curriculum • 1st Semester • All 41 Engineering Branches • 1st Semester (First Year — Common Curriculum) • Session 2026–27
About this document: The first year of a BTEUP diploma runs on one common curriculum for 41 engineering branches, so this subject is the same whether you are in Computer Science, Mechanical, Civil or Electrical. The subject areas below are from the official 1st-year curriculum (folder2627, NEP-2020). Paper-wise codes, marks and L–P hours are not stated here because they are yet to be confirmed from the official 1st-year PDF — please confirm them with your own polytechnic.
What You Will Study
Drawing Basics
Drawing instruments; lines and lettering; dimensioning; scales.
The alphabet of engineering drawing: line types, letters and measurements.
Projections
Orthographic projections; first-angle and third-angle projection; isometric views.
How a 3D object is shown correctly on a flat sheet of paper.
Sections & Development
Sectional views; development of surfaces.
Seeing inside an object on paper, and unfolding a 3D shape into a flat pattern.
Computer-Aided Drawing
Introduction to CAD tools for engineering drawing.
The same drawing work done on a computer — the skill used in every design office today.
How This Helps You Later
Graphics trains your eye for shape and size — useful in every branch, and the base of design and modelling work.
