“T
his book is the culmination of many years of teaching of, and first-
hand experience with, the engineering drawing course which the author
lectured at UKZN for 21 years. It provides a state-of-the-art textbook
on the subject, including CADD, with several examples, exercises and
explanations. It is recommended to all students who are studying the
subject and to professional engineers who use drawing in their work.”

“The Engineering Drawing Guide authored by Mr Joelson has formed
the basis for the first year drawing module at UKZN for many years. It is
laid out in a logical and structured format. It is easy to read, understand
and flows in a format that builds understanding in engineering drawing.
This 'Guide' is highly recommended for tertiary education students that
want a complete guide to modern day engineering drawing methods,
principles and practices.”

Engineering; Academic Leader Discipline of Mechanical
Engineering (UKZN); PhD, MSc, BSc, MBA.
“The Engineering Drawing Guide is prescribed for students undertaking
the capstone project for the Bachelor Degree in Mechanical Engineering
Technology at the Durban University of Technology. The outcomes of
the course require that students use best practice to produce engineering
outputs that conform to established standards. As such the Engineering
Drawing Guide provides very useful guidance in aiding students to
produce professional engineering drawings according to the latest
ISO code of practice. Besides providing information related to drawing
outputs, the guide also contains other engineering data that will ensure
that the book serves as a valuable reference in professional practice”.

Mechanical Engineering, Durban University of Technology (DUT)

THIRD EDITION - REVISED ISBN 978-0-620-69126-0
This guide has been used (amongst other
universities), by the faculty of engineering at
the “University of Stellenbosch” for the past
five years, for first year students. Likewise the
“University of KwaZulu-Natal” has used it since
its initial edition in 1996. It is not suggested that
this guide replace any other technical drawing
texts used at schools and colleges, however, it
may complement or supplement the student’s
studies and their overall understanding of the
fundamentals used in engineering drawing and
design. In addition, it may also be helpful to
apprentices in the engineering environment.
This guide was specifically designed for
1st year university students, especially those
who were not exposed to technical drawing at
school. It has also successfully assisted final
year students at university with their research
and project work.
The foundational roots/information used
stems from, and was developed from, lecturing
(N1-N6) technical engineering drawing and
design for 8 years at a technical college.
However, much of its contents is contributed to
university colleagues and students.
The main purpose is to ensure adherence
to the ISO Standards and Conventions; the
universal engineering language used in industry.
It has many illustrations, step by step examples
and exercises with model answers, which are
aligned to the mechanical engineering code of
drafting practice.
