Abstract: Abstract This is a pleading for Descriptive Geometry, a subject of basic importance for any engineering education. From the very first, Descriptive Geometry has been a method to study 3D geometry through 2D images thus offering insight into structure and metrical properties of spatial objects, processes and principles. The education in Descriptive Geometry provides a training of the students’ intellectual capability of space perception. Drawings are the guide to geometry but not the main aim.
