Engineering Graphics-Optional Programs
Engineering graphics is an indispensable communication
and design tool which is concerned with the graphical
representation of designs and specifications for physical
objects and data relationships used in engineering, science,
business, and technical work. The graphic language, along
with the symbolic and verbal languages, enables those engaged
in technology to communicate effectively, making
it possible for new ideas, designs, and developments to
be transformed into useful consumer products. The welltrained
engineer, scientist, or technician must be able to
make correct graphical representations of engineering structures,
designs, and data relationships, as well as possess an
ability to express ideas quickly and accurately through the
use of the graphic language.
