This Self Study course is available on ASME’s Learning Hub, our online learning platform. It covers the majority of information required to understand basic mechanical two-dimensional engineering drawings. Topics covered are:
Basic drawing elements (formats, title block, parts list, revision block, etc.)
Part views (multiview, auxiliary, and isometric)
Section views
General dimensions
Tolerances
Finish and welding symbols.
The course consists of eleven modules, each with a quiz; most also include drawing exercises and supplementary information. Learners will receive downloadable job aids and reference material such as measurement plans, dimensioning symbols and fundamental rules, and real-world part and assembly drawings.
By participating in the class, you will learn how to successfully:
Describe the fundamentals of drawing interpretation
Identify drawing elements, including part views and sections
Describe general dimensions and tolerances
Explain how to present surface texture, fasteners and welding
Who should attend: Beginning designers, drafters, quality, procurement, tooling, production, manufacturing and shop personnel; more advanced designers, and those involved with tooling, production, inspection, routing in the shop; others involved with purchasing, costing and management; vendors and suppliers. Supplemental Course Materials (not included with course, purchase separately) Access to the ASME Y14.5 - 2018 Dimensioning and Tolerancing Standard is strongly recommended for this course. While recommended, the Y14.5 Standard is not included in the purchase of the course. To purchase the Y14.5 Standard, click here.
Course participants are expected to have:
Access to computer equipment and a reliable internet connection
Software to display PDF files (such as Adobe Reader)
A Certificate of Completion will be issued to participants who successfully complete this course.
