Abstract: The present situation of engineering graphics is less class hours, more students, and the
same teaching content. Some functions and characteristics should be provided by engineering
graphics courseware based on the current situation of engineering graphics. In the process of
courseware development, we have a comprehensive application of AutoCAD and PowerPoint. The
engineering graphics courseware introduced in the article can satisfy with the requirements of the
current situation. The courseware can show the students the drawing process and methods step by step.
An example illustrates the process of making courseware. This method is simple to use, but it needs
to spend more time. However, once the courseware is finished, we can get more convenience.

Key words: engineering graphics, courseware development, Powerpoint, AutoCAD
