Manual Drafting

Learn Engineering Drawing Through Manual Drafting

Manual Drafting is the foundation of engineering drawing and technical design. Understanding drawing standards, projections, dimensions, and geometric construction helps students develop the visualization skills required for engineering, architecture, manufacturing, and construction.

This 36-hour course is designed for diploma, engineering, and ITI students who want to build strong drafting fundamentals before learning CAD software. The lessons follow a structured approach aligned with standard engineering drawing curricula.
