This course introduces the participants to the available drawing standards, drawing conventions and teaches how to correctly interpret engineering drawings. It will improve a participant's understanding of print reading and result in more effective communication on the job. The course focuses on practical application of print interpretation. It will give participants a better understanding of the view representation, dimensions, tolerances, and symbols used on prints. Newly acquired learning is reinforced throughout the class with numerous practice problems.
