Objectives (summary)

Introductory course in engineering geometry - a review of principal methods to give a one-to-one representation of 3D-space on a plane. Aims of the subject are pedagogical, mathematical and practical.
Pedagogical: To introduce the student to ideas and ways of thinking - without the use of numbers - which generally are new to him and thus to form and develop his 3D-space imagination, as well as the ability of logical thinking and coming to right conclusions concerning 3D-systems.
Mathematical: To give rudiments of projective geometry. To study the principle and properties of parallel projection: axonometric and orthogonal projections (Monge's projections and marked projection).
Practical: To give a working knowledge of the engineer's language - how to make and how to read drawings. To become familiar with presented methods and acquire the ability to specify their use with assurance. To apply obtained skills to solve some problems. Skill of applying of engineering building drawing. Visualization of engineer projects.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of plane geometry: triangles; regular polygons; parallelism and perpendicularity; constructions by using a ruler and compasses involving straight lines and circles (particularly tangents to circles).
Elementary knowlableedge of 3D-space geometry: straight lines, planes and relationships; dihedral angles; distances; parallelism and perpendicularity in the space; prisms; pyramids; regular polyhedrons.
