This website refers to the Engineering Graphics course
taught at
the Faculty of Engineering and Technology at JORDAN
UNIVERSITY

Objectives:
Engineering design require a combination of organization,
analysis, and communication skills. Engineering graphics is
the primary medium for communicating design concepts
and is an important tool for analyzing engineering
problems. This course aims at developing the skills
needed for documenting designs using drawings and for
performing graphical analysis of two dimensional and three
dimensional problems. Manual and computer aided
methods of graphical analysis and communication are
covered.
