Engineering drawing : five basic steps

The first article in this series stressed that from the point of view of teachers of Engineering Drawing, drawing comprehension was the primary requirement of all students engaged in engineering. The further point was made that the approach usually made to this vital requirement is usually too indirect. Important though design and draughting are in themselves, it must be clearly understood that they are only a means to an end. The end product that earns the money is not a beautifully executed set of engineering drawings of a faultless piece of design, but the actual hardware the drawings depict.
