2. Identify the meaning of different types of lines, symbols, print views, assembly prints, and call outs used to represent a three-dimensional object with two-dimensional drawings.
3. Interpret multi-view, sectional, and auxiliary drawings to visualize three-dimensional objects from two-dimensional drawings.
4. Interpret basic geometric, dimensioning, and tolerance standards indicated on the blueprint.
5. Derive missing linear and/or angular dimensional values on industry standard blueprints.
