193 – BUILDING/ENGINEERING DRAWING

General Objective
This subject is intended to introduce the trainee to the use of drawing as a language and to enable
them to make and interpret simple technical drawing, the basic knowledge of the application of
geometrical methods in the analysis, solution to elementary space problem and skill in making
and interpreting engineering drawing.
