Teaching Engineering Drawing and Geometry

Abstract

Those who teach engineering drawing and geometry are not agreed on the importance of the latter to the student. Some believe that the time spent by ONC students on geometry exercises could be better spent in perfecting the technique of orthographic projection and the correct dimensioning of engineering drawings. Others maintain that, since many craft students are not good at calculations, but are keen on drawing, a geometrical solution to a problem is best, when it is possible.
