HOW TO USE THIS STUDY GUIDE
We have compiled this study guide to help you understand and master Mechanical
Draughting.
The course will cover your prescribed textbook, Mechanical Draughting by

C.L. Moolman and C.G. Brink.
This study guide has divided the work into simplified sections, called study sessions,
each consisting of the following:
• prescribed reading;
• exercises;
• self-assessment questions;
• assignments.
Study Sessions
Your study sessions set out what you should study and which assignments to
complete. You should also do the exercises and the self-assessment questions where
applicable at the end of each module in your textbook. Compare your answers to the
notes in your textbook.
For your own benefit, do not skip any study sessions.
Note the following:
• You must work through each study session.
• There are four assignments to complete in this study guide.
• Send your completed assignments to the College for assessment.
The order in which you should study has been set out in your study schedule.
If you have any problems or queries, you should contact your tutor through the
College.
In order for you to achieve outstanding results, you must follow our instructions
carefully.
Exercises
You must do the exercises in your textbook and compare your answers against the
notes in your textbook.
_______________________________________________________________________
Mechanical Draughting N4 / © ICG / Page 1
Self-assessment questions
You must complete the self-assessment tests in each study session where applicable
and check your answers against the notes in your textbook.
Assignments
This study guide includes four assignments in which we will test you on the work you
have done. These assignments are for your own benefit and will show yourself and us
whether you understand the work.
If you require additional space when completing the assignments, you should use one
of the empty pages at the back of the drawing pad. [Remember to repeat the assignment
serial number on the new page.]
Mechanical Draughting is a subject that you need to understand and practise,

not a subject you can learn off by heart.
_______________________________________________________________________
STUDY SCHEDULE
