Excerpt from A Manual of Engineering Drawing for Students and Draftsmen
Different courses have been designed for different purposes, and criticism is not intended, but it would seem that better unity of method might result if there were a better recognition of the conception that drawing is a real language, to be studied and taught in the same way as any other language. With this conception it may be seen that except for the practice in the handling and use of instruments, and for showing certain stand ards of execution, copying drawings does little more in the study as an art of expression of thought than copying paragraphs from a German book would do in beginning the study of the German language. And it would appear equally true that good pedagogy would not advise taking up composition in a new language before the simple structure of the sentence is understood and appreciated; that is, working drawings would not be considered until after the theory of projection has been explained.

Excerpt from A Manual of Engineering Drawing for Students and Draftsmen
There is a wide diversity of method in the teaching of engineer ing drawing, and perhaps less uniformity in the courses in differ ent schools than would be found in most subjects taught in tech nical schools and colleges. In some well-known instances the attempt is made to teach the subject by giving a series of plates to be copied by the student. Some give all the time to laboratory work, others depend principally upon recitations and home work. Some begin immediately on the theory of descriptive geometry, working in all the angles, others discard theory and commence with a course in machine detailing. Some advocate the extensive use 'oi models, some condemn their use entirely.

After a knowledge of the technic of expression, the penman Ship and orthography, the whole energy should be directed toward training in constructive imagination, the perceptive ability which enables one to think in three dimensions, to visual ize quickly and accurately, to build up a clear mental image, a requirement absolutely necessary for the designer who is to represent his thoughts on paper. That this may be accomplished more readily by taking up solids before points and lines has been demonstrated beyond dispute.

A Manual of Engineering Drawing for Students and Draftsmen (Classic Reprint)
Print-on-DemandAnbieter: Forgotten Books, London, Vereinigtes Königreich
Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book tackles the vital yet often overlooked aspect of engineering drawing as a language, illuminating its significance in the industrial world. The author emphasizes that engineering drawing, much like any other language, has its own grammar, style, and conventions that need to be mastered for effective communication. This approach contrasts with the traditional methods of teaching engineering drawing solely as a set of technical skills, instead highlighting its role as a crucial tool for conveying complex ideas and facilitating collaboration among engineers. The book delves into the fundamental principles of orthographic projection, a core element of engineering drawing that allows for the representation of three-dimensional objects in two dimensions. It explores the creation of developed surfaces and intersections, which are essential for understanding and constructing complex structures. Pictorial representation methods, including isometric and oblique projections, are also examined, providing a clear understanding of how to visually communicate designs. Furthermore, the book explores the practical aspects of working drawings, covering dimensioning, lettering, and the use of conventions for representing standard machine parts and fasteners. Throughout the book, the author emphasizes the importance of technical sketching, demonstrating its indispensable role in the engineer's toolkit for quickly capturing and conveying ideas. The book's emphasis on the language of engineering drawing offers a fresh perspective on this vital subject, ultimately revealing its power as a tool for clear communication, collaboration, and the successful realization of complex engineering projects. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
