A Drawing & Drafting course (often called Engineering Drawing or Technical Drawing) is a foundational subject in engineering and design fields. It teaches students how to visually communicate ideas, parts, and systems using standardized drawing techniques.
This course introduces the principles of graphical representation of objects. It equips students with the skills to create, read, and interpret engineering drawings using both manual tools and computer-aided design (CAD) software.
