CALIFORNIA INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY
ENGINEERING DRAFTING
ASSISTANT PROFESSOR: HOWELL N. TYSON
INSTRUCTOR: NATHANIEL W. WILCOX
D. 1. Freehand Drawing. 3 units (0-3-0); first term.
The study of geometrical forms and their representation by means of freehand
perspective. Training in pencil rendering is given and the fundamental principles
of perspective are illustrated by simple architectural and engineering studies. Emphasis
is placed on careful observation and accurate drawing.
Instructors: Wilcox and Assistants.
Descriptive Geometry, D. 3 a, b, c, d and D. 5 are planned to cover a thorough
study of shape description and representation. Especial emphasis will be placed upon
the visualization of problems in order to develop three dimensional observation. The
work will include practical as well as purely geometrical problems.
D. 3 a. Descriptive Geometry. 3 units (0-3-0); second term.
The study of the graphical representation of three dimensional geometrical constructions
by means of orthographic projection. The work includes principle,
auxiliary and oblique views.
Text: Gernnetry 0/ Engineering Drawing, Hood.
Instructor: Wilcox.
D. 3 b. Descriptive Geometry. units (0-3-0); third term.
Prerequisite: D. 3 a.
A continuation of D. 3 a, covering the geometrical relationships of lines and
planes.
Text: Gernnetry of Engineering Drawing, Hood.
Instructon: Tyson, Wilcox.
D. 3 c. Descriptive Geometry. 3 uniu (0-3-0); first or second terms.
Prerequisite: D. 3 b.
A continuation of D. 3 b, covering problems involving curved lines and the
intersection and development of surfaces.
Text: Gernnetry 0/ Engineering Drawing, Hood.
Instructors: Tyson and Assistants.
D. 3 d. Descriptive Geometry. 3 units (0-3-0); second or third terms.
Prerequisite: D. 3 c.
A continuation of D. 3 c, covering more complicated problem. involving single
curved surfaces, warped and double curved surfaces, and mining problems.
Text: Gernnctry of Engineering Drawing, Hood.
Instructor: Tyson.
D. 5. Descriptive Geometry. 3 units (0-3 -0); third term.
Prerequisites: D. 3 a, b.
This course is planned primarily for geology students and includes practical
problems in mining and earth structures.
