Engineering representations
Find resources for the T level in engineering, to plan your engaging sessions for students.
Download our free curriculum grid to find resources that are mapped against module 3 Engineering representations.
In the free download, you will find information on where to find content to support the teaching of:
3.1 Drawings and information conveyed by drawings.
- Computer-aided design models
- Freehand sketching
- Orthographic projection (first angle, third angle, section, assembly, general arrangement)
- Exploded views
- Block diagrams
- Flowcharts
- Circuit diagrams
- Schematics (wiring diagrams, pneumatics, hydraulics)
- Title block
- Projection symbols, view (elevation, plan, end, section, auxiliary)
- Types of line (outlines, hidden detail, centre line, projection, dimension, leader, construction)
- Surface finish
- Manufacturing detail
- Standard features (screw threads, nuts, bolts, pins, repeated items, counterbore, countersink, centre mark)
- Abbreviations (across flats, centre lines, diameter, drawing, material, square, chamfer, countersunk, hexagon head, radius, thread, undercut, pitch circle diameter)
3.2 Dimensions and tolerances on engineering drawings.
- Dimensions (linear, diameter, radius, angular)
- Tolerances
- Limits and lifts
- Geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GDT) symbols (datum, parallelism, perpendicularity, concentricity, straightness)
