INTRODUCTION

The educational discipline “Descriptive Geometry, Engineering and Computer Graphic” is
complex and consists of two modules: M1 is Descriptive Geometry (first term); M2 is the
Engineering and Computer Graphic (second term). Two modules are the organic whole, where one
part develops and complements the other one.
Descriptive Geometry is grammar of engineering graphic and studies theoretical bases of
geometrical design of three-dimensional objects by the method of projection images. Subject of a
Descriptive geometry is spatial forms and their relations. A Descriptive geometry equips a student
with the method of projections, which is basis of other divisions of graphic cycle and apply
practically all technical disciplines. Mostly this method is used by theoretical mechanics, theory of
mechanisms and machines, higher mathematics, resistance of materials, detail of machines.
As a result of learning the module ”Descriptive Geometry” a student must:
 to know theoretical bases of construction of images of points, lines, planes, separate types
of the crooked lines and surfaces;
 able to decide tasks on mutual belonging and mutual crossing of geometrical figures, also
on determination of natural size of separate geometrical figures;
Descriptive Geometry contains three content modules, in particular:
CM1 is the Method of projections. Projections of elementary geometrical figures;
CM2 is Position and metrical problems. Conversion of projection;
CM3 is the Surfaces and their mutual intersection.
