Teaching Engineering Drawing in Kathmandu University—Exploring Faculty Preparedness, Methods and Assessment
Drawings are how an instructor communicates with students of architecture and engineering. Engineering drawing is taught to all undergraduate students of all faculties of engineering and architecture in Kathmandu University (KU) because that is how ideas can be exchanged, understood and enhanced. An instructor needs to know where to use which kind of drawing so that students can understand what is being conveyed. These drawings could be drawn by hand (free hand) or using a set of tools or using computer software. An instructor needs to be aware of these various tools. An in-depth qualitative study, in the form of questionnaire and in-person interviews, was carried out in KU among faculties who are currently teaching or has experience teaching engineering or architectural/working drawings (as in case of architecture students) to understand how prepared the faculties are, how the subject is taught and how the students are assessed. All 15 faculties agreed that drawings are the best communication tool, computer software help to create more accurate drawings but the students must be able to visualize what they want to create to be able to make drawings. Continuous assessment is done during the semester, and at the end of the course, each student is given a set of questions to make various drawings based on what has been done during the semester. Analytical rubrics are created to mark the answers. The reliability coefficient for the assessment is calculated to test the applicability of the assessment done for engineering drawings.
