INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY

Teacher should show model of realia of the component/part whose drawing is to be made.
Emphasis should be given on cleanliness, dimensioning and layout of sheet. Focus should
be on proper selection of drawing instruments and their proper use. The institute should
procure AutoCAD or other engineering graphics software for practice in engineering
drawings. Teachers should undergo training in AutoCAD/Engineering Graphic. Separate
labs for practice on AutoCAD should be established.
