The Development and Effects of Teaching Perspective Free-Hand Sketching in Engineering Design

This 8-page paper, provided by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, discusses teaching perspective free-hand sketching in engineering design courses. "This paper presents the development of a perspective-based sketching curriculum and the study of how this method compares to more traditional methods of teaching sketching to students in a freshman level engineering graphics course." The following sections are included: Abstract, Introduction, Teaching Methods, Methodology, Results, Conclusions, Future Work, Acknowledgments, and References.
