Sketching is that skill that differentiates engineers.
Time to gain perspective on the importance of the sketching skill for engineers.
First, check out this video to frame where 'Sketchy Business ' is going to take us...
Whoa...there would have been no effective communication without the sketching in that video...
Hold on!?!? Were they sketching on a tablet!!!
Hold on!?!? Were they sketching on a tablet!!!
Here are a three training/informational videos on sketching basics and sketching in the engineering world...

Let's see if Google has a tool to help with some recall...
Looks like they need some help adding images to a database...
Click on the left image and refamiliarize with sketching...
Next stop...The main attraction...SketchTivity...
To get the most from Quick, Draw and SketchTivity, use a touch screen device and quality stylus...
For the final, and penultimate activity, take a dive into SketchTivity.
Follow this path:
All the while, watch for the immediate feedback on your sketches...
from SketchTivity, an ITS (Intelligent Tutoring System).
Welcome to the future of learning.
There are some tutorial videos in the tool, but if you want more direction, visit MITOpenCourseware for additional engineering-focused guidance.
Now, select the image below, and enjoy.
(As SketchTivity is still under development, you will first need to contact Blake Williford or Matt Runyon at the TAMU Sketch Recognition Lab to be provided access to SketchTivity.)
Follow this path:
- Take the pre-test first to establish a benchmark level,
- Step methodically through the lessons,
- Pursue a high score on ZenSketch in the Arcade,
- When ready, take the post-test to see how much you have improved.

Here is a fun finishing video parody of how some engineers sometimes feel in a business project meeting...
