Use an interest approach that will prepare the students for the lesson. Teachers often develop approaches for their unique class and student situations. A possible approach is included here.  \nDisplay several sets of technical drawings and renderings. Allow students to explore and name as many of the symbols and line types as possible. Answer questions about symbols or lines that students did not recognize. Should noprint sets be available, use VM–A as an introduction.  \nLesson: Lines and Symbols  \nPage 2 􀀂 [www.MyCAERT.com](www.MyCAERT.com)  \nCopyright © by CAERT, Inc. | Reproduction by subscription only. | L670089  \nCONTENT SUMMARY AND TEACHING STRATEGIES  \n Objective 1:  Interpret line types and weights.  \nAnticipated Problem: What are the characteristics of line types and weights used on technical drawings?  \nI. Line types and weights  \nA. Technical drawings and model renderings  \n1. Technical drawings are graphic representations of objects or concepts that use a universal language of graphic symbols. Technical drawing (drafting) is a form of drawing used by architects, engineers, artists, and designers. Technical drawings have standardized elements, including:  \na. Line types and weights  \nb. Symbols  \nc. Layout  \nd. Text  \ne. View projections  \nf. Dimensioning  \ng. Descriptive geometry  \n2. Mechanical drawings are technical drawings that provide information about mechanical systems: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, etc. Other terms for mechanical drawing are “engineering drawings” and “blueprints.” Engineering drawings express geometry—the shape of an object from different angles. They also show dimensions, materials, and the finish for the object.  \na. On mechanical drawings, lines, line types, and line weights are used to represent different product parts or forms.  \nb. Each line represents a feature or a material within the object. Lines are used to define the outline of a material or to suggest a reference point for locating an object.  \nB. Line types and weights  \n1. Line types are line patterns. Each line type is recognized as a typical symbol or object in the construction and manufacturing industries. Following are the standard types of lines used in technical drawings.  \na.
