concepts of engineering graphics, such as descriptive geometry. You will also learn the standards and conventions that will enable you to create drawings and models that can be read and accurately interpreted by engineers or technologists anywhere. The ability to draw is a powerful skill. It gives a persons thoughts visible form. Engineering drawings can communicate complex ideas both efciently and effectively, and it takes special training to be able to produce these complex images. If drawings are windows to our imaginations, then engineering drawings are specialized windows that give expression to the most complex, technical visions our minds can imagine. Engineering drawing does more than communicate. Like any language, it can actually inuence how we think. Knowing how to draw allows you to think of and deal with many problems that others may not. A knowledge of technical graphics helps you more easily envision technical problems, as well as their solutions. In short, engineering graphics is a necessity for every engineer and technologist.
