Engineering Graphics
Exam Practice Tests
Course Introduction
Engineering Graphics is a foundational course that introduces students to the principles and techniques of technical drawing and graphical communication used in engineering. The course covers topics such as orthographic projection, isometric and perspective drawing, dimensioning, sectioning, and the interpretation of engineering drawings. Students learn to use both traditional drafting tools and computer-aided design (CAD) software to create accurate representations of engineering components and assemblies. Emphasis is placed on developing spatial visualization skills, understanding industry standards, and producing clear, precise technical documentation essential for engineering design and manufacturing processes.
