Attention New York Engineers:
This course cannot be taken to fulfill your
continuing education requirements in the state of New York since the course does
not cover material from one of the core engineering disciplines.

Overview
Drawing is the universal
language of engineering. Drawings from an engineer provide a raw account of the
fundamentals that will eventually go into making something useful and necessary.
Engineering drawings are a
formal and precise way of communicating information about the shape, size,
features and precision of physical objects. The drawings of the engineer are an
obvious case of making visible the practical expression of the profession, the
interpretation of which has a direct impact on the final product.
This 4-hr course begins
with a thorough explanation of how engineering drawings are structured and the
conventions that are used in making them and reading them. The course is
designed to demonstrate how to read mechanical and technical drawings of piping
and mechanical devices, controllers, and instruments connected to the network of
pipes in an industrial plant, as well as electrical drawings.
The course
material is based entirely on Department of Energy, handbook
(DOE-HDBK-1016/1-93), ENGINEERING SYMBOLOGY, PRINTS and DRAWINGS,
Volume 1 of 2. This course will be useful for anyone who creates or interprets
engineering drawings: product manufacturing and quality engineers, mechanical,
civil and electrical engineers; inspectors; machinists; production personnel;
construction workers, purchasing agents; etc.
This course is
particularly beneficial to engineers who wish to understand the function and
symbology of drawings created by their project counterparts in other
disciplines, such as mechanical engineers who desire to understand electrical
schematics and wiring diagrams.
The
student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of twenty (20)
questions at the end of the course to obtain PDH credits.
