• Graphic Communication is the study of using
visualizing, sketching, modelling and detailing for clear and efficient communication in creating and producing new products. • Using engineering drawing & model as a language in presenting technical ideas and problem solutions. • In engineering, 92% of design process is graphically based, and only 8% mathematics, written & verbal communications. Ts. Rosdi Daud (FTKMA) 10/27/2020 rosdidaud@ump.edu.my • Graphics communication will influence the way you think & the way you approach problems. WHY?? • Because thinking in the language of graphics, you will visualize problems more clearly and will use graphic images to find solutions with greater ease.

1. Visualization 2. Communication 3. Documentation
