Drafting and Design Technology
Exam Questions
Course Introduction
Drafting and Design Technology introduces students to the fundamentals of technical drawing, computer-aided design (CAD), and the principles of visual communication essential for engineering and architectural fields. The course covers the use of industry-standard drafting tools, techniques to create and interpret blueprints and technical drawings, and the application of design processes from initial concept to final presentation. Students will develop practical skills in creating precise 2D and 3D models, applying geometric constructions, and understanding technical specifications, preparing them for roles in design, manufacturing, construction, and related industries.

Q3) List the four classes of size tolerances identified by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standard ISO 2768, General Tolerances that generally controls unspecified tolerances for metric dimensions.
Answer: ISO 2768 tolerancing is based on the size of features. Small sizes have closer tolerances and larger sizes have larger tolerances. There are four classes of size tolerances including fine (f), medium (m), coarse (c), and very coarse (v).
