Abstract

The first step in introducing the engineering profession to students is to develop good communication skills, especially graphics communication. In this paper authors from different parts of the world compare their current practices in delivering Engineering Graphics units (Descriptive Geometry, Manual Technical Drafting, Freehand Drawing Computer Graphics and CAD programs: AutoCAD.) in an attempt to map a path which the future curriculum in this area may follow. They propose what will stay as principles language and what is going to change.
