Engineering Graphics is a pre-requisite for the civil engineers and mechanical engineers as well because the students of these streams have to frequently draw and represent various geometrical figures and section on paper for their processing.

Engineering Drawing necessary for Civil and Mechanical Engineers

This paper becomes very important for the students who have it as a necessary tool for their studies- students from the Civil and Mechanical branches. It is a concept which is used by the engineers to represent varied structural sections on the paper and modify and/or create it. They have to create design of various sections of a machine and draw its different views on a sheet of paper with the help of various engineering drawing tools or on computer with the help of CAD, which is a software for engineering drawing.
