My cursive died when I got to engineering school, and now even my printing is not improving, to some extent to writing mostly with keyboard.
No drafting in High School, but my first Freshman course in the EE program was pretty awesome. Professor Kliphardt taught us mechanical drawing, where we learned to make 3-d drawings of various objects, solving problems like a pipe coming through a wall and determining if it intersected a desk or the person sitting there. You would solve this by rotating the drawing, using projection to spot the path. He would do all these drawings with a chalk and a piece of string. Was amazing to watch. Was a very fun course. (The next quarter was intro to computer programming, and that derailed me for the next several decades) w8lvn On Sun, Apr 25, 2021 at 2:59 PM Jim Brown <j...@audiosystemsgroup.com> wrote: > On 4/25/2021 6:27 AM, eda...@aya.yale.edu wrote: > > I never took a drafting class nor anything like it in high school, yet > its > > absence never hurt me professionally.
