TECHNICAL DRAWING with Mechanical Engineering & Drawing option

Technical drawing is the language engineers use to communicate designs clearly and accurately. Unlike artistic drawings, technical drawings follow strict rules and standards so that manufacturers anywhere can understand and build exactly what was designed. In Nigeria, when engineers at companies like Indomie design their production equipment or when construction firms plan bridge structures, they use technical drawings with specific lines, symbols and dimensions.

These drawings show multiple views of an object—front, top, and side—so nothing is left to imagination. You'll learn to use instruments like set squares, compasses, and scales to create precise drawings that follow British Standards or international conventions. Dimensions, hidden lines, and centre lines all have special meanings that workers must understand perfectly.

The Mechanical Engineering drawing option focuses on machine parts, assemblies, and industrial designs rather than building plans.
