Introduction
• Engineers: People who use technical means to solve problems.
They design products, systems, devices, and structures to improve our
living conditions
• Technical Drawings: a clear, precise language used in
the design process for communicating, solving problems, quickly and
accurately visualizing objects, and conducting analyses
• A graphical representation of objects and structures is done using
freehand, mechanical, or computer methods
