Popular method for assessment of final exam answer scripts in university and among the engineering drawing answer scripts based on absolute true or false judgment and assigning a single number or letter to answer of each problem cannot be so fair. To obtain a fair assessment method, we considered “imagination”, “accuracy”, “drawing” and “innovation” that are objectives of engineering dra...

Graphs have enormous usage in software engineering, network and electrical engineering. In fact graphs drawing is a geometrically representation of information. Among graphs, trees are concentrated because of their ability in hierarchical extension as well as processing VLSI circuit. Many algorithms have been proposed for drawing binary trees within polygons. However these algorithms generate b...

Modern teaching of engineering graphics is undergoing major reform, and teaching procedures are being changed which regarding the student as the center, and the student employment’s ability request as the guidance, reconstruct and organize the learning content including curriculum structure design, project choice and design, teaching activity implementation and teaching media choice. Innovative...

Knowledge of the responsibilities of engineers is the foundation for answering ethical questions about the work of engineers. This paper defines the responsibilities of engineers by considering what constitutes the nature of engineering as a particular form of activity. Specifically, this paper focuses on the ethical responsibilities of engineers qua engineers. Such responsibilities refer to th...

The extensive number of engineering drawing will be referred for planning process and the changes will produce a good engineering design to meet the demand in producing a new model. The advantage in reuse of engineering designs is to allow continuous product development to further improve the quality of product development, thus reduce the development costs. However, to retrieve the existing en...

This paper presents a novel educational software package which develops an Interactive Didactic Application (IDA) generated in the Polytechnic University of Catalonia (UPC), and which contains the essentials of Engineering Graphics according to ISO norms. It is an interactive multimedia application which adapts easily to all engineering studies, according to the needs of each course, and which ...

The paper introduces the main principles of automatic interpretation of engineering drawing images. The technology of ED interpretation is proposed based on the introduced principles. The algorithms for automatic recognition of the main ED entities: line types, circular arcs, blocks, crosshatched areas, dimensions are proposed. They have been verijied experimentally in the whole ED interpretati...

The Machine Drawing Understanding System (MDUS) is an experimental CAD conversion system aimed at realizing the entire process of understanding mechanical engineering drawings, from scanning to three-dimensional (3-D) reconstruction. This paper describes the structure, algorithms and current performance of MDUS. The modular structure of the system provides for further improvements and makes it ...
