The act of creating a technical drawing is reffered to as Drafting, hense the name of the class, Engineering Drafting. A technical drawing consits of a boarded paper with a title bar and dimensioned views of the part. The most common views consit of front, top, right or left, and an isometric views, which are placed according to which view. The first view placed is the main view which is usually the front view which is determined by the longest side. The top view is place directly above the front and the right or left view is placed directly beside the front on the side that the image depicts. The draft below depicts this set up.
Other views used to covey more complicated parts include section views and detailed views. A section view is when the part has been hypothetically cut to reveal the interior details of its features. A detailed view is when you have a close up image of a certain area that has a feature that otherwise might be overlooked. When taking section or detailed views the area they are taken from must be labeled with an identifier and the view must be labeled accordingly and should have the type of view and the scale.
Below is the hair dryer I created and its draft which contains a variety of views.
