Do young adults choose to use drawings and sketches when attempting to explain technical information if not specifically prompted to do so? Engineers and technicians frequently use technical drawings and sketches to communicate. Is this a learned behavior or do people choose this form of communication without specific instruction to do so? Does completion of a graphics or drafting course improve the quality of sketches drawn while explaining technical information when the subject produces the sketches in a non-class environment without prompting to adhere to accepted graphics/drafting standards? The quasi-experimental study reported here sought answers to these questions.
