Have you ever reviewed a print and had to “guess” how to interpret something? Engineering drawings (aka “prints”) are critical documents used to communicate between design, manufacturing and quality.  Not being able to properly read a drawing can easily lead to costly consequences.  This 1 day introductory course provides foundational education for creating and interpreting engineering drawings.  These skills are essential for anyone involved in design, manufacturing or inspection.  

​

The course is led by a skilled instructor in the form of lecture alongside graphical illustrations and physical model sets to help convey concepts in a clear manner. There are also student exercises to help the concepts sink in.  Students will be able to engage with the instructor throughout the class.  Each student will receive a detailed textbook for use during the course and for a useful reference in the future.
