Course Objective

This continuing education course is written specifically for professional engineers with the objective of relating to and enhancing the practice of engineering.

Course Description

This course is an introduction to sketching for engineers who want to be able to draw their thoughts on paper in a quick, easy way. This is not a drafting class. This course is part art class, part engineering school, and part physical training. It’s not precise, and it’s not accurate. But it is fun, and very useful as an engineer. You’ll learn about basic tools and materials, drawing features, perspective, shadows, and scale. By the end of it, you’ll have what you need to convey your ideas on paper with clarity and skill.

I thought this was a good course to sharpen my drawing / sketching skills. These skills come in handy during a "Brainstorming Meeting"

I really liked this course and look forward to increasing my sketching skills. Very useful tips. Like letter writing, sketching is becoming a lost art and the mental value towards problem solving as well.

Good review of what my first drafting instructor taught about "freehand" drawing.
