Abstract
Sketching is one of a noteworthy course which aids most individuals to provide lucid communication using visual skills. Arts courses have always created a significant impact on Engineering Education which transcends an Individual's capabilities. The basics of sketching are always deemed necessary for everyone and have acted as a prerequisite for various Engineering Courses along with Design Courses. Since there has been a fusion of Engineering and Design Curriculum trending nowadays, the importance of sketching has heightened up. Many courses like Product Design, Engineering Design Process, Design Thinking, Engineering Exploration demands students to learn the basics of sketching to perform adequately in their courses. Even in the Shear Engineering curriculum, certain parts of sketching are included in Engineering Graphics at a basic level. This paper envisages the probable content and importance of sketching courses in engineering education which enables students to enhance their visual communication skills in various areas of Engineering. Various skills of sketching like doodling, perspectives, finishing, exploded sketches, storytelling boards are predominantly used and explored further in Engineering Education to excel in their projects.
