Engineering Drawing
• Common language of engineering
• Process of creating drawings for any
engineering or architectural
application
Engineering Drawing
• Also known as:
• Drafting
• Engineering drafting
• Mechanical drawing
• Mechanical drafting
• Technical drawing
• Technical drafting
Engineering Drawings
• Effective and efficient way to
communicate:
• Design intent
• Engineering requirements
• Instructions
• Proposals
• Typically not open to interpretation
Mechanical Drafting
• Used in the manufacturing industry, or
• Heating, ventilating, and airconditioning (HVAC) systems
Manual Drafting
• Traditional drafting practice using
pencil or ink on a medium such as
paper or polyester film
• Mostly replaced by computer-aided
drafting (CAD)
Computers in Design and Drafting
• Have revolutionized design and
drafting practices
• Used in several industries and most
engineering and architectural related
disciplines for design and drafting
Computers in Design and Drafting
• Computer-aided design and drafting
(CADD)
• Computer-aided design (CAD)
• Computer-aided drafting (CAD)
Early Drawing Practices
• Pictograms and petroglyphs
• Prehistoric graphic forms of
communication

machines
• Sketches, drawings, and documents
• 14th and 15th century
• Engineering drawings representing
machines and buildings
Early Engineering Drawing
Pioneers

• Created pictorial drawings generally
without dimensions
Leonardo da Vinci
Early Engineering Drawing
Pioneers
• Leon Battista Alberti

•
•
author
Explored the need to incorporate more
geometry in drawings

Early Engineering Drawing
Pioneers

• 1596-1650
• French inventor of the Cartesian
coordinate system
Founder of analytic geometry
•
• Gaspard Monge
• 1746-1818

The Industrial Revolution
• Parts produced from hand sketches or
hand drawings on blackboards
• Coleman Sellers, American engineer and
•
innovator
Henry Ford, American automobile
manufacture
• Most designs began as a hand sketch of
the object to build
The Industrial Revolution
• Interchangeability became important
• Requires accurate drawings
• 19th century
• Engineering drawing evolves more rapidly
Early Drafting Practices and
Equipment
• Drawings created by hand on a board
• Initial drawing was done using a pencil, T-
•
•
square, triangles, scales, irregular
(French) curves, compasses, and dividers
Drafters often traced original pencil
drawings onto cloth using pen and ink
Attention to lettering quality
Drafting Machines
• Replaced the T-square, triangles,
scales, and protractor
• Arm and track (track shown)
• Parallel bar
Drawing Reproduction
• Required for distributing drawings to
manufacturers or builders
• Blueprints
 Replaced
by the diazo process
 Modern printers, plotters and engineering
copiers create prints
Computer-Aided Design and
Drafting (CADD)
• 1980s
• Schools started teaching CADD
• 1990s
• Many schools and companies make the
complete transition to CADD
• CADD now accounts for almost all
design and drafting
The Drafter
• Prepares technical drawings and plans
used by production and construction
workers
• Fills in technical details using
drawings, rough sketches,
specifications, and calculations made
by engineers, surveyors, architects, or
scientists
The Drafter
• Uses technical handbooks, tables,
calculators, and computers
• Most often uses computer-aided design
and drafting (CADD) systems to prepare
drawings
