工程图样是工程与产品信息的载体，是工程界表达、交流技术思想的语言。本课程是一门研究绘制和阅读工程图样理论与方法的技术基础课，主要培养学生绘图和读图的能力。主要内容涉及工程图样的表达理论与方法和国家标准有关制图的规定，包括制图的基本知识、正投影理论、立体的投影、组合体视图等。课程理论严谨，实践性强，与工程实践联系密切，是理工类专业重要技术基础课程。
       Engineering drawing is the carrier of engineering and product information and the language of, expression and exchange ideas in engineering. This course is a basic course to study the theory and method of drawing and reading engineering drawings in order to mainly cultivate students' ability of drawing and reading drawings. The main course includes the orthographic projection theory, engineering drawing theory and method and the national standard about drawing rules. This course is strict in theory and practice, and is closely linked with practice, which is an important basic technology course for science and engineering major.
The teaching hours of this course are 80 hours in total, which is leached during two semesters for mechanical majors.
