Introduction to Technical Drawing

Overview

New to draughting? This course will help students gain the foundational knowledge of understanding technical drawings within the architecture, engineering and construction industries. It will teach the student the fundamentals to identify basic drawing equipment, read and interpret a paper-based drawing and drawing arrangement by using practical and theoretical methods to illustrate drawing techniques.

The material will also include the requirements of ISO and SABS and should, therefore, give the learner an idea of the fundamentals of draughtsmanship.
