Description
This course provides students with an understanding of engineering drawing conventions in civil engineering and architecture, and in particular shows them how engineering drawing can be both a design tool and a means of communicating precise instructions to engineers and crafts people. The course is split into three sections: a) manual drawing, b) computer-aided drawing (CAD) and c) freehand drawing. The CAD element introduces students to how computer software can be employed to replace the manual drawing procedure. The freehand drawing element develops the ability to convey objects effectively and attractively with freehand line, marks and tone to both civil engineering and architectural projects.
