This document provides an introduction to engineering graphics and drawing. It discusses key concepts such as:
- Engineering drawing is the universal language of engineers used to visualize and understand objects. Drawings can be done freehand, with instruments, or using computer software.
- Orthographic projections and isometric projections are two main types of technical drawings. Orthographic projections use parallel lines of sight perpendicular to projection planes, while isometric projections show 3 sides of an object.
- Dimensioning, title blocks, projection methods, scales and other elements of graphics language are explained to effectively communicate the shape and specifications of designed objects through technical drawings.
