Engineering Drawing Module 1

Module Overview

How do we show a 3D object on a flat piece of paper — and how do we know if our drawing gives enough information? In this module, students explore those questions through observation sketching and vocabulary building. By the end of the module, students understand the relationship between 2D drawings and 3D objects, and they have experienced firsthand why engineers need a shared drawing language.

This module is designed to stand alone as a spatial reasoning and communication unit. It also serves as the foundation for Modules 2, 3, and 4, all of which build directly on the vocabulary and concepts introduced here.
