Abstract


Engineering drawing is a universal language of an Engineer which allows engineers to create designs, represent them on a drawing sheet, calculate distances, and create a blue print before manufacturing. All engineering students undergo a complete course on engineering drawing where orthographic projections are taught. In orthographic projections, the students are asked to imagine a 3D situation and make the 2D orthographic projection drawing. This part of 3D imagination and converting it into orthographic projection is difficult for students to mentally visualize. To ease the student's imagination, An Augmented Reality solution is developed jointly by BMSCE and Bosch (RBEI), Bangalore. A powerful 3D graphics association has been developed which forms the primary source of developing the drawing as orthographic projections that is viewable in 3D in real world.

The current article focuses on the importance of AR in engineering education and its benefits.


Keywords
