Classically Minded Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 Are there any courses or books that teach how to read blueprints or technical drawings? Also, how to make/draw them. All I have found is this course from Christian Light and I'm not sure about it, has anyone taken it? https://www.clp.org/store/by_course/181 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorningGlory Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Timberdoodle sells a Practical Drafting workbook that has always caught my eye: https://timberdoodle.com/products/practical-drafting 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lori D. Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 Outsource as dual enrollment to your local community college or trade school?? And, are you planning on moving into familiarity with a CAD (Computer Aided Drafting) course? The CLE text/course that you linked looks good (no personal experience). Here's are some YouTube videos on Mechanical and Technical Drawing. Here's a free 200-page pdf on Blueprint Reading and Sketching. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about the CAD but I was reading some requirements for a local course for high school students in robotics/engineering and it said being able to read blueprints.
