Rationale:
Knowledge of Engineering Drawing is a part of Basic Engineering.
Printing students would be able to understand diagrams of the
machines and would have better control if they know Engineering
Drawing. This course covers topics such as different Conic projections,
Orthographic projections, Sections of Solids, etc. The knowledge
of Systems and Conventions of Engineering Drawing can help to
solve day-to-day problems.
