In the beginning the study of engineering drawing(the language phase of graphic science), you and exploring a technique that will be of real importance in the future of your career.

When you have become proficient in it, you will have at your command a method of communication used is all branches of the technical industry, a universal language unequaled for accurate description of physical objects.

The importance of this graphic language can be seen by comparing it with word languages.

Everyone who attends school learns the language of their country and learn to read, writ, and speak it with some degree of skill. These word languages are highly developed systems of communication. Nevertheless, any word language is inadequate for describing the size, shape, and relationship of physical objects. It is impossible to describe with words the exact description of any object or component.

Engineering is an applied science, and communication of physical facts must be complete and accurate. Quantitative relationships are expressed mathematically. The written word completes many descriptions, but whenever machines and structures are designed ,described and built, graphic representation is necessary. Drawings and photographs are used for special purposes, but the great bulk of engineering drawings are made in line only with separate views arranged in a logical system of projection. To these views, dimensions and special notes giving operations and other directions for manufacturing are added.

This is the language of engineering drawing, can be defined as the graphic representation of physical objects and relationships. For more information of Engineering and Graphic representation Visit eLine Design
