Idea and practice for paperless education of Mechanical Engineering Drawing

The desirability and feasibility of paperless education in curriculum of Mechanical Engineering Drawing are discussed in this paper. Three measures are adapted in the whole education cycle and. A set of Web-based multimedia teaching material provides teacher to give his/her lecture in classroom vividly and a legible electrical reading book after school. An assignment system is an interactive toolkit for teacher to organize, publish and check studentspsila assignments, also for student to download and submit his/her schoolwork and check their own study state. A virtual collaborative discussion platform is a genial environment for discussing interested topics on net, specially for engineering drawing. The geometrical dispersed people can view same drawing on their own browsers, directly modify or create the entities in the drawing, and the operating results can display synchronously on all the browsers. Realization of the system foretells a bright prospect of paperless education of Mechanical Engineering Drawing.
