Engineering Drawing and Graphics
At BURAAQ UK, we recognize the critical role that Engineering Drawing and Graphics play in bridging the gap between design concepts and physical realization. This foundational discipline enables engineers, designers, and technicians to communicate technical information clearly, precisely, and universally.Our Engineering Drawing & Graphics training is designed to equip learners with the skills to create, interpret, and analyze technical drawings using both traditional manual drafting techniques and modern computer-aided design (CAD) software.
Aim of Engineering Drawing and Graphics
The aim of the Engineering Drawing & Graphics course at BURAAQ UK is to develop learners’ skills in creating, interpreting, and communicating precise technical drawings using both manual drafting and computer-aided design (CAD) techniques, enabling accurate visualization and documentation essential for engineering and manufacturing processes.
