Technical graphics is an integral part of the engineering design process through which engineers and drafters/designers generate new ideas and solve problems. Traditionally, engineering design consisted of closely-related steps documented as paper graphics and text which flowed in a linear/sequential manner through an organization. In the face of increased global competition, many industries in the United States have adopted a team-oriented concurrent approach using 3-D CAD model information as a primary means for communication. This chapter describes a modern approach to the engineering design process, so that you will have a better understanding of and appreciation for the role of engineering graphics in the design process.
