CIVIL ENGINEER GRADUATES, nid ur help

[zavier29]

sa civil engineering ba, maraming drwing when you come to 3rd yr to 5th yr,,,, i want to get a scholarship and an average grade of 1.5 but i'm very poor interms of drowing, tlgang pangit, circle lang di ako makacontruct kapag free hand,, tnign nyo kaya ko?

Hindi ka expected na maging maganda ang drawing mo pag free hand kahit CE ka so don't fret. Ang mas mahalaga kasi sa kurso mo ay yung analysis sa label ng drawing at hindi ang aestethical aspect ng drawing mo. Structural analysis ika nga.

The drawing/drafting subjects are usually taken-up during the early years (1st-2nd years). 3rd year subjects are the core subjects in maths and engineering such as mechanics,strength of materials, calculus(lower yr ata 'to?), diff'l equation, advanced maths,fluid mechanics,etc. 4th-5th years are civil engineering subjects such as Theory of Structures, RC Design, Steel Design, Soil Mechanics, Foundation Engineering, Geotechnical Engineering, Traffic & Transportation Engineering, Hydraulics, Basic Seismic Engineering, and for some universities Computer-Aided Engineering such as basic and advanced use of tools such as Autocad and design softwares STAAD, GRASP,etc. You don't necessarily be VERY good in drafting/drawing but at least must be able to present and convey your design intent through drawing/drafting/detailing. Some professors are notorious on drafting/drawing presentations on assignments, engineering plates, projects thus it is important that you are good in presenting your drawings. If you could write in freehand with a result similar to that written with a lettering guide (or Leroy), you're a god! :D

In practice, it is very much revered if ou could present your drawings and design intent in a clear and concise content. Unfortunately, even in practice some drawings are not conveyed as the original designer intended to do thus a lot of them are returned to the original designers as RFI's (Request for Information). Some engineers would understand a little bit of the drawings but not quite sure of it thus these site engineers asks for RFA's (Request for Approval). RFI's & RFA's are downtime in the construction schedule so it is imperative that at the very early stage, the presentation of the design intent is legible, simple, concise and understood by many.

*** bf ko naging CE pero never nag drawing un kc ako ang taga draft nun but he's good pagdating sa math and major engineering subjects.

Thing is, engineering drawings are rarely being done by hand. The vast majority of the drawings are generated by CAD.

I am not a CE but just the same, I took Eng'g and i had Drawing courses (old style pa). I would say Im between fair and poor... pero with todays technology... ni hindi na nga yata gumagamit ng t-square ang mga eng'g students ngayon. With CADs, i dont think you have to be a good drawer or draftsman.

Siguro bonus point mo na lang at magaling ka ng freehand sketching sa panahon ngayon.

Hindi issue sa UPD engg students kung magaling kang mag drawing, isang subject lang yun sa amin (2 units pa).

Ang binabayaran sa atin is yung abilidad natin sa pag-analyze ng mga problema at paggawa ng sound engineering solutions

^Tama. Drawings are for architects or draftsmen(non-license archi). Aesthetics = architects as engineers = functionality.

Makakasurvive ka naman kahit di ka magaling magdrawing. Yung first year na drawing, kaya naman, bsta malinis ka lang gumawa at matiyaga, may mga ruler naman at mga templates na pwede mo gamitin eh. Yung drawing sa higher years, madali lang naman. Basic drawing din lang halos. Tsaka pag exam, d naman ganun kahalaga yung drawing mo, ang mahalaga dun eh yung analyis at solution mo dun sa problem.
