FAB2020 Print Reading

Intermediate · 1 credit · TMT - Trades, Manufacturing and Transportation

Description: Students develop basic skills in reading and interpreting working drawings to prepare a bill of materials and sequence of operations.
Prerequisite: None
Parameters: Access to appropriate print resources and to instruction from an individual with specialized training in print reading.

Outcomes The student will:

1 identify and describe the principal components of a print
- 1.1 describe the types of drawings that are used to visualize an object pictorially and orthographically
- 1.2 identify and describe the types of lines commonly found on a drawing; e.g., object, hidden, centre line, dimension
- 1.3 research dimensioning systems used to identify:
  - 1.3.1 linear dimensions
  - 1.3.2 angular dimensions
  - 1.3.3 limits, fits and tolerance
- 1.4 identify the types of threaded fasteners and methods of representation; e.g., detailed, schematic
- 1.5 identify the types of non-threaded fasteners and methods of representation; e.g., detailed, symbols
- 1.6 explain how prints are used to create a:
  - 1.6.1 bill of materials
  - 1.6.2 cutting list
  - 1.6.3 schedule of operations
