Innovation of teaching of engineering drawing:a modern engineering design oriented approach

Although the method of 2D design aided with 3D design still coexists with the method of stereoscopic digital 3D design in the practice of modern engineering,it no longer satisfies the needs of modern engineering design.Therefore,it is necessary for the traditional engineering graphics teaching to be innovated.An innovation plan based on the teaching practice of these two methods for modern engineering design is presented in this paper.Factors such as shortcomings of the current teaching and curriculum of engineering drawing,the needs of the market of human resource have been taken into account in the new plan.The new plan takes the integrity of designing as the starting point,focuses on the theorem,integrates descriptive geometric,computer graphics and mechanical drawing into the teaching of modern engineering and thus makes a new teaching approach.Feasibility of the approach proposed is also discussed in this paper.
