The ability to develop drawings manually as well as with use of information technologies is one of therelevant taskfor technical specialties. Main goal. The main goal is to define a role and the place of the discipline «Engineering and computer graphics» in the system of higher education, to analyze and generalize its purposes and tasks. Methods and methodology. General scientific methods were used: method of analysis and synthesis, comparison, generalization, method of system approach. Results. As a result of studying of the engineering and computer graphics course one gets knowledge of the drawing creation, ability of reading and drawing graphic and text design documentation according to requirements of standards, ability to put this knowledge and skills into practice. On the basis of stated it is made the conclusion that knowledge and skills get in the course of engineering and computer graphics are necessary for studying of special technical disciplines, as well as in the follow-up professional activity. Result can be used in. Materials of article can be used by teachers, teachers of discipline «Engineering and computer graphics» and other drawing and graphic disciplines.
