ES 11 Engineering Drawing I

Course Introduction
Drawing

A drawing is a graphic representation of an object, or a part of it,


and is the result of creative thought by an engineer or technician.
When one person sketches a rough map in giving direction to
another, this is graphic communication. Graphic communication
involves using visual materials to relate ideas.
Course Introduction
Engineering Drawing

Engineering Drawing, though challenging, is a universal language


that an engineering student must learn. It provides the necessary
information about the shape, size, surface quality, material, and
manufacturing processes of a certain object.

On the other hand, is not subtle, or abstract. It does not require an


understanding of its creator, only an understanding of engineering
drawings. An engineering drawing is a means of clearly and
concisely communicating all of the information necessary to
transform an idea or a concept in to reality. Therefore, an
engineering drawing often contains more than just a graphic
representation of its subject. It also contains dimensions, notes
and specifications.
Course Introduction
Technical Drawing

Technical drawing, drafting or drawing, is the act and discipline of


composing drawings that visually communicate how something
functions or is constructed.
Course Introduction
The following are important skills to keep in mind for drawings:

1. Accuracy. No drawing is useful unless it shows the


information correctly.
2. Speed. Time is money in industry. Work smarter and learn to
use techniques to speed up your drawings while still producing
neat accurate results.
3. Legibility. A drawing is a means of communicating with others,
so it must be clear and legible. Give attention to details. Things
that may seem picky and small as you are drawing may be
significant and save money or even lives when the product is built.
4. Neatness. If a drawing is to be accurate and legible, it must
also be clean.

helps you read and create drawings so that others can easily
understand.

2. Lettering – Showing notes and information legibly that helps
present your ideas to others clearly.
3. Measurement Systems - Two measurements systems are
used for technical drawings: the metric system and U.S.
customary units. It is important to be familiar with both
measurement systems to create and read drawings that are
used worldwide.
4. Scale - Obviously, a large item cannot be shown full size on a
paper sheet. To clearly convey important information about
particularly large or small objects, you need to select an
appropriate sheet size and show drawings to scale
(proportionately smaller or larger than the actual size).
