The technical drawing is a vocational
communication tool between workers, technicians, engineers, etc., and is kept
as a written record of the planning process. Since a drawing is worth thousands
of words, a technical drawing contains much more than a written plan for
designers, workers, technicians, engineers, etc. A technical drawing prepared
based on standards is the most essential factor in enabling manufacturers to
create objects without errors, reworks, and scrap problems. Therefore, since
the ability to prepare/read/interpret a drawing is the basis of good vocational
and technical education, engineering knowledge, and manufacturing expertise,
technical drawing is one of the compulsory and must-know courses for all
students. However, although there are many learning tools, students still face
difficulties in understanding the complex concepts of technical drawings. The
underlying reason for these difficulties is directly related to students'
ability to visualize three-dimensional objects and assign appropriate
dimensions to represented objects.
The issue of lack of technical drawing skills
includes more than just course content. To put it more clearly, the subject
of technical drawing is directly related to visual intelligence and this
determines the multidimensional thinking and design abilities. Individuals who
combine their imagination and technical drawing skills play a role in the
design and development of new products. Technical drawings prepared based on
international standards eliminate design-induced production losses. Likewise,
it is important for technical drawings to be handled by professionally and
technically competent employees to remove the above-mentioned errors. In
addition, incorrectly prepared or understanding of the drawings during the
manufacturing line will also damage the brand value of the products produced.
Thus, to develop a
qualified workforce, export products, and become a leader in the world market,
it should be focus on more specific and critical issues in the field of VET.
However, today's curriculum in VET does not adapt to the rapid development of
working life, so the manufacturing sector does not have the application skills
it demands. This has led to the necessity of updating the appropriate programs
and curricula.
The lack of adequate practical training in VET has been one of the most
significant concerns impacted by the Covid 19 pandemic. Therefore, the
curricula must be updated to include the VET laboratories into the Industry 4.0
paradigm and to be accessible (appealing to all persons) at all times.
The project should be funded because this project aims to increase
awareness of human-based errors and improve the efficient usage of natural
resources for a green future by reducing manufacturing failures. The scrap and
rework rates in the manufacturing industry will be reduced by the well-trained
VET graduates who are trained with digital training content in accordance with the
requirements of the era.
