RATIONALE
Drawing is the language of engineers and technicians. Reading and interpreting engineering drawing is their day to day responsibility. The subject is aimed at developing basic graphic skills in the students so as to enable them to use these skills in preparation of engineering drawings, their reading and interpretation . The emphasis, while imparting instructions, should be to develop conceptual skills in the students following BIS SP 46 – 1988.

Note:
i) First angle projection is to be followed
ii) Minimum of 16 sheets to be prepared
iii) Instructions relevant to various drawings may be given along with appropriate demonstrations, before assigning drawing practice to students
