Training in engineering drawing has traditionally been focused on learning technical drawing or drafting skills in isolation from analytical and design skills. Engineering 251/253, as taught at the University of Calgary, has developed a visual literacy component that combines drawing methods from Engineering and Fine Art. Teaching drawing and sketching to first-year engineers, develops both drawing skill and perceptual ability which can be directly applied to current 3-D modeling programs. Engineering drawing or engineering sketching, as it is known in our course, functions as a tool for creativity, design and analysis, rather than strictly for technical representation. |
