ENGINEERING GRAPHICS DESIGN (EGD)
Engineering Graphics and Design (EGD) teaches internationally acknowledged principles that have both academic and technical applications. The emphasis in EGD is on teaching specific basic knowledge and various drawing techniques and skills so that the EGD learners will be able to interpret and produce drawings within the contexts of Mechanical Technology, Civil Technology and Electrical Technology. The work content becomes decidedly more taxing and only learners with a highly developed sense of perception, and talent for drawing, should consider doing the course.
We are also proud to offer the top EGD students the opportunity to use our new computer lab to learn the fundamentals of Computer Aided Design (CAD)
EGD provides the fundamental knowledge and drawing skills required for the following career opportunities:
• Architecture
• Most engineering fields (e.g. Civil, Mechanical, Aviation, Maritime, Agricultural, Mining, etc.)
• Medical technician
• Industrial designer
• Interior designer
• Landscape architect
• Quantity surveyor
• Building management
• City planner
• Land surveyor
• Teacher
• Graphic illustrator
• Jewellery designer
• Model builder (scale models)
• Draughtsperson (e.g. Steel structure, Architectural, Civil, Design, Electrical, etc.)
• Technicians
• Most manufacturers
• Most artisans
• CAD system operator
