Abstract: In the engineering drawing teaching practice of international program for
mechanical engineering major, the concept of parametric, variational and constraint design, which
are typical in modeling design, is introduced, and the fundamentals of geometric drawing and
view projection are simplified while the ability of design and representation with 3d modeling
software is emphasized. With modeling design in assembly environment, assembly design and
parts modifying become easier than before. All lectures are given in English with ISO standard
during the whole course. Chinese standard (GB) is introduced for contrast when it is different with
ISO. With the training of this course, learners will possess the fundamental ability of international
communication in mechanical engineering and obtain the skills of design and representation
which are the object of later course training in traditional program.

Key words: parametric, modeling design, engineering graphics, internationalization
