PPT 102 - Technical Drawings



5.0 Credits
Apprentices will learn to read and interpret technical drawings and schematics, as well as practice basic drafting. Apprentices will begin by learning to interpret the basic elements of a drawing, line types, principles of orthographic projection, and normal, sectional, and auxiliary views. Apprentices will learn to interpret dimensioning and tolerancing on prints, including geometric dimensioning and tolerancing. Drawings studied in this class will come both from the text and from industry, and will include machining, fabrication, assemblies, and fluid power systems. Apprentices will also learn about various types of fasteners, cams, and gears. Hands-on activities in this course include creating various types of shop sketches, and applying print-reading knowledge to inspect a part. Note: This class is part of an AJAC apprenticeship program.
