Mechanical+drawing

toc =Mechanical Drawing= In engineering, you use drawings to communicate with your team. The best idea in the world doesn't do anyone any good unless it's shared.

When you put together your drawings, think about **your audience**. Who has to understand the information in this drawing? What exactly do you want to convey to them.

=**Types of Drawings**= You can sketch a process just like you're drawing a cartoon. In that process you show a procedure, panel by panel. [Add example here]

 * Technical Drawings**
 * 1) Isometric-These are more like an architect's plans. These drawings need to be precise--it's great to list the measurements lengths, diameters and angles on this drawing.
 * 2) You can have your students draw on isometric paper. Here's a printable image of isometric paper.
 * 3) Assembly- This type of drawing shows how all the parts of a piece of equipment fit together.
 * 4) Orthographic Projection- This type of drawing shows your part in 3 dimensions. It's fairly complicated
