Variousmethods have emerged using prepared models, photographs, and pictorials to illustrate what thedrawing is meant to represent. Students typically work from these prepared examples in theproduction of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional drawings with little opportunity tocreate something new. The question arises if students really see what the drawings represent.Larger companies, such as Chrysler, are now sending design engineers out for real world designexperience on the shop floor before actually having them design cars.
