Introduction
Engineering drawing is a two dimensional representation of three
dimensional objects. In general, it provides necessary information about
the shape, size, surface quality, material, manufacturing process, etc., of
the object. It is the graphic language from which a trained person can
visualise objects. Drawings prepared in one country may be utilised in
any other country irrespective of the language spoken. Hence,
engineering drawing is called the universal language of engineers. Any
language to be communicative, should follow certain rules so that it
conveys the same meaning to every one. Similarly, drawing practice
must follow certain rules, if it is to serve as a means of communication.
For this purpose, Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) adapted the
International Standards on code of practice for drawing. The other
foreign standards are: DIN of Germany, BS of Britain and ANSI of
America.
Role of Engineering Drawing
The ability to read drawing is the most important requirement of all technical
method is brief and more clear. Some of the applications are : building drawing for
civil engineers, machine drawing for mechanical engineers, circuit diagrams for
electrical and electronics engineers, computer graphics for one and all. The subject
in general is designed to impart the following skills.
1. Ability to read and prepare engineering drawings.
2. Ability to make free - hand sketching of objects.
3. Power to imagine, analyse and communicate, and
4. Capacity to understand other subjects:
