RATIONALE
Drawing is the language of engineers. Engineering is incomplete without a thorough
knowledge of drawing. A Civil Engineering diploma holder must be capable of
sketching detailed constructional drawing of various components of building for the
purpose of communication with the craftsman. Planning of small buildings,
developing a line plan, dimensioning, key plan, drainage plan should be a part of
curriculum. The diploma engineer must be conversant with reading and
interpretation of drawing for execution of work.
