Document Summary
How do engineers communicate: engineers convey information in three principal ways. Graphically: sometimes a combination is needed. Importance of engineering graphics: the majority of engineering information is transmitted by graphical means, but unambiguous written and verbal communication is also central to successful engineering communication. Example describing an object: written communication. Made of metal, this tool has a handle and a heavy irregular shaped head. The length of the head runs perpendicular to the handle. The head has a rounded blunt end for impact, along with two flattened stems formed by a tapered grove at the opposite end. The length of the tool is approximately 30 cm and it weighs about 1 kg. A picture is worth : graphical communication. The point: obviously, graphics can convey some information in an easier to understand way, imagine how difficult some things would be without graphical communication: Engineering graphics: graphics is a universal language, the earliest forms of written communication were pictorial.
