Interpreting Visually in an Engineering Context
Perceive and understand visual information
Visual Interpretation in an Engineering Context is about interpreting the technical meaning of visual resources, and understanding of the topic/subject through ideation and graphic expression. Interpretation involves perceiving in the form of the perception process from external sources, and then its recognition after comparing to mental representations.
Interpretation requires prior technical knowledge, knowledge of the function of the part/set and the significance of standardized symbols, dimensions and forms of representations. It also requires identifying the design intent, in order to interpret the purpose of a visual engineering representation.
Visually it can be presented in the following way.
