 Why Drawing for Engineers?
Engineering is the profession in which a knowledge of the mathematical and
natural sciences gained by study, experience and practice is applied with judgment
to develop ways to utilize economically the material and forces of nature for the
benefit of mankind- ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology).
• In a process of product development, two steps are involved:
 Product specification
 Product drawing

Although the works of artists (or photography and other

method of reproduction) may provide pictorial
representation they serve as
, descriptions. cannot engineering

Why this Banyan tree drawing is not engineering drawing?
A new machine, structure, product must exist in the mind of the engineers
before it can become a reality.
• Original concept or idea is usually placed on paper or as an image on
a computer screen and,
• Communicated to others by way the graphic language in the form
of
of freehand sketches.
• These free hand sketch are followed by other, more exact, sketches as the idea is
developed more fully.
The engineer must understand how to read andwrite in
the graphic language

5
Engineers must be able to create idea sketches, calculate
stresses, analyze motions, size parts, specify materials and
production methods, make design layouts and supervise
the preparation of drawings and specifications that will
control the numerous details of product manufacture,
assembly and maintenance

Although people around the world speak different language(about 7000),
a universal graphic language has existed since the earliest of times.

The earliest forms of writing were through picture forms such as Egyptian
hieroglyphics. Later these forms were simplified and became the abstract
symbols used in our writing today

Drawing is a graphic representation of:
• a real thing,
• an idea or,
• a proposed design for later manufacture or construction.

Graphic representation:
1. Artistic: to express aesthetic, philosophic or other abstract ideas
2. Technical: to represent the design of objects to be built or constructed

What Engineering Students Should
Know?
• For any product design or development, graphical language is always required
with technical knowledge
• Today the intimate connection between engineering and science, and the
universal graphic language is more vital that even before
• Artistic talent is no longer a prerequisite to learning the fundamentals of
the graphic language.
• Instead today’s graphics student needs the same aptitudes, abilities and
computer skills that are needed in science and engineering courses
• A well trained engineers must be able to make and read correct
graphics representations of engineering structures, designs and data
relationships.
• Understand theexecute
and be able to fundamental principles

What Engineering Students Should
Know?
• Students will learn the meaning of neatness, speed, and accuracy for the first
time in a drawing course. These are basic and necessary habits for every
successful engineer
• The ability to think in three dimensions
• Learning to visualize objects in space, to use the constructive imagination
is one of the principal values to be obtained from a study of the graphic
language

21
 Projections
Behind every drawing of an object is a space relationship involving four imaginary
things
 The observer’s eye or the station point
 The object
 The plane of projection
 The projectors also called visual rays or lines of sight
If the observer’s eye is imagined as infinitely
distant from the object and the plane of
projection, the projection will be parallel

If the projectors, in to
addition parallel to each perpendicula

projection, the

If the projectors are parallel to each other
but oblique to the plane of projection, the
result is an oblique projection 22
