Course Introduction
Technical Drawing
Question Bank
Technical Drawing is a foundational course that introduces students to the principles and practices of creating precise, scaled graphical representations of objects and structures. Emphasizing accuracy and clarity, the course covers essential topics such as orthographic projection, isometric views, dimensioning, sectioning, and standard conventions used in engineering and architectural drawings. Students will develop skills in both freehand sketching and computer-aided design (CAD) software, learning how to effectively communicate technical information for construction, manufacturing, and design purposes.

Q1) Describe and explain the basic function of the vernier caliper.
Answer: The vernier caliper consists of a stationary bar and a movable vernier slide assembly. The station rule is a hardened graduated bar with a fixed measuring jaw. The movable vernier slide assembly combines a movable jaw, a vernier plate, clamp screws, and an adjusting nut. The vernier slide assembly moves as a unit along the graduations of the bar to bring the jaws in contact with the work. Readings are taken in thousandths of an inch by reading the position of the vernier plate in relation to the graduations on the stationary bar.
Q2) Give another name for the micrometer caliper.
Answer: A micrometer caliper is commonly called a micrometer.
Q3) The following scales and their notations are common to mechanical drawings:
A) FULL or 1:1
B) HALF or 1:2
C) QUARTER or 1:4
D) DOUBLE or 2:1
