Engineering
drawing is rather a combination of both art and science. To build any
structure out of scrap requires conceptualization, ideation and
implementation. The idea has to projected first on the sheet of paper
before taking it further or implementing it in reality. Engineering
drawing is the process which deals with projecting the idea or image
in the mind to paper. It is a kind of technical drawing with
complete specifications for engineered items. Engineering drawing may
be about technical drawings but it is one of the toughest subjects,
ask any engineering student and you will know. A sound knowledge of
drawing is vital otherwise its a tough road ahead with the subject.
Engineering
drawing is a beautiful blend of artistry and science that has the
ability or power to process your dreams to products of reality. It is
an art because it involves a lot of drawing, that to complex form of
drawing. It is also a science because, art is free from boundaries or
rules and regulations of any sort and is a purely putting down your
imagination on paper, while science is bound by rules, regulations
and restrictions. Here is a run down the sub categories under
engineering drawing.
MACHINE
DRAWING / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DRAWING
Mechanical
engineering drawing deals with machine drawing. It is apparently a
drawing for representing machine lines or components while abiding to
certain set of rules. All the details, both internal and external are
provided by the machine drawing.
ELECTRICAL
ENGINEERING DRAWING
Electrical
engineering drawing involves assembly and working drawing of
mechanical and electrical items, instruments and their parts.
CIVIL
ENGINEERING DRAWING
Civil
Engineering drawing is all about residential, commercial and
industrial construction drawing.
DRAWING
INSTRUMENTS
The
drawing instruments for engineering drawing include a T-square or a
drafter, stencils, drawing board and the regular pencil, rubber,
sharpener things.
Well,
it is interesting to know how beautifully art and science blend in
together to give amazing shapes to your imagination and ideas by way
of engineering drawing. Thus, besides being just a combination of
science and art, engineering drawing remains to be one of the
cornerstones of every engineering stream.
