Engineering Drawing: from the general to the particular
Abstract
Early in an engineering drawing course, students are given simple views of elementary objects, e.g. FIGURE 1, from which they are asked to project auxiliary views and from them other auxiliary views, and perhaps in time produce FIGURE 2. Most students experience difficulty, because whereas the early views are easy to draw, subsequent projections of even the simplest objects are of increasing complexity — they have been asked to do the most difficult tasks too far from their base as it were, and their incomplete and often ‘inside out’ solutions show that they have been lured too deeply into the unknown and have got lost in space.
