In fact, from the electronic devices inside your cell phone to the handle of your toothbrush, technical graphics are produced before almost all products are manufactured. |\n| --- |\n| \u003Cbr>Refer to the following websites:\u003Cbr>American Design Drafting Association: [www.adda.org](www.adda.org)\u003Cbr>American Institute of Architects: [www.aia.org](www.aia.org)\u003Cbr>American Society for Engineering Education: [www.asee.org](www.asee.org)\u003Cbr>National Society of Professional Engineers: [www.nspe.org](www.nspe.org)\u003Cbr>U.S. Department of Labor: [www.bls.org](www.bls.org) |\n|  |\n\nTECHNiCAL DRAWiNG  \n1.1 THE ORiGiNS OF TECHNiCAL DRAWiNG  \nTechnical drawing is not a new concept; archaeological evidence suggests that humans first began creating crude technical drawings several thousand years ago. Through the ages, architects and designers, including Leonardo da Vinci, created technical drawings. However, a French mathematician, Gaspard Monge, is considered by many to be the founder of modern technical drawing. Monge’s thoughts on the subject, Géométrie Descriptive (Descriptive Geometry), published around 1799, became the basis for the first university courses. In 1821, the first English-language text on technical drawing, Treatise on Descriptive Geometry, was published by Claudius Crozet, a professor at the U.S. Military Academy. Other terms often used to describe the creation of technical drawings are drafting, engineering graphics, engineering drawings, and computer-aided design (CAD) .  \n1.2 THE ROLE OF TECHNiCAL DRAWiNG iN THE DESiGN PROCESS  \nTo appreciate technical drawing’s role in the design process, you must first understand some basics about the design process itself. For most projects, the first phase of a design project is to define clearly the design criteria that the finished design must meet to be considered a success. Many designers refer to this phase in the design process as problem identification. For example, before designing a house, an architectural designer needs to know the size and style of home the client wants, the number of bedrooms and baths, and the approximate budget for the project. The designer also needs information about the site where the house will be built. Is it hilly or flat? Are there trees, and if so, where are they located? What is the orientation of the site relative to the rising and setting of the sun? These concerns represent just a few of many design parameters that the designer needs to define before beginning the design process.  \nOnce the design problem is clearly defined, the designer begins preparing preliminary designs that can meet the parameters defin","cbCaicljLr89UAhY","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaicljLr89UAhY","pdf",2284612,16,"English","# Chapter Objectives\n# Technical Drawing 1\n## Chapter Overview\n## The Origins of Technical Drawing\n## The Role of Technical Drawing in the Design Process","[{\"question\":\"What should you be able to explain after studying this chapter?\",\"answer\":\"You should be able to explain what technical drawings are, the terminology used to describe their creation, how technical drawings are produced, and the training needed for technical drawing careers.\"},{\"question\":\"How does technical drawing fit into the overall design process?\",\"answer\":\"Technical drawing supports the design process after design criteria are defined and preliminary ideas are generated and reviewed, when design inputs are prepared and provided to drafters to create technical drawings.\"},{\"question\":\"What is highlighted about the origins of technical drawing?\",\"answer\":\"The chapter notes that technical drawing is ancient, and points to figures and publications such as Gaspard Monge’s descriptive geometry as foundations for modern technical drawing education.\"}]","Technical Drawing 101 - Chapter Objectives | PDF"]
