Course Description​

This course covers the fundamental theories and methods of engineering drawing and computer-aided design (CAD). It develops three hands-on drawing skills — instrument drawing, freehand sketching, and computer drawing — and enables students to express three-dimensional forms on a two-dimensional plane, strengthening spatial visualization and imagination.

Learning Objectives​

  1. Master the principles of orthographic projection and basic drawing skills
  2. Draw and interpret projections of geometric forms proficiently
  3. Use CAD software proficiently for engineering drawing
  4. Apply national drawing standards and conventions with a rigorous working attitude
