I took an engineering drafting class during the 60s.  We spent a lot of 
time drawing different angles to see how things fit together. This was 
pre CAD days where we used pencils and ink.

Several years later I taught a very basic night class on a machine tool 
language for machinists.  It was a real job staying one class ahead of 
some very sharp machinists.
