Course Overview
This course covers basic techniques required to communicate technical information in graphic form. It emphasizes the application of these techniques to actual engineering drawings. Students will be required to produce a number of drawings and draftsmanship will be of a secondary importance to the understanding of this form of communication. Orthographics, isometrics, sections, architectural and process piping are the principle topics.
