Introduction to Electrical Mechanical Drafting

Mechanical drafting courses are available as early as the high school level. While called electrical mechanical drafting, the emphasis is on the mechanical aspect. The basic principles are the same: to make and read an engineering drawing.


Mechanical Drafting
Mechanical drafting involves drawing a part or assembly for manufacturing purposes. It requires learning basic drafting standards, such as paper size and equipment, and training in drafting terminology for the fundamentals, such as orthographic view projection, sectioning, auxiliary views, line weights and line usage. These techniques apply to other forms of drafting, including architectural and electrical.

Electrical Drafting
Electrical drafting is a separate training module, spent learning the different electrical symbols for making electrical schematics, printed circuit design and other drawings for the electrical industry.

Computer Aided Drafting
Computer Aided Design (CAD) uses a computer drafting program to make the drawings. There are several different drafting programs, but all use the basic mechanical techniques for the drawing. Some have optional add-on modules with electrical symbols.
