Why is drawing considered the language of engineering?
Any engineering object/task/product can be best demonstrated by drawing. Being general, not only engineering products, drawing helps understanding everything in science. However, drawing is used a lot in engineering specially, mechanical, cibvil, manufacturing, design etc branches. An engineer must be smart in drawing (understanding drawing & prepare drawing) to have sound reach in the material.
Drawing is one of the languages of engineering. The other is mathematics.
Is Graphic Design offered at UCLA?

What constraints on file structure can the RIP impose?
Newer RIP systems can be programmed to accept a variety of files. The constraints would be relevant to the printing process, and imposed by the operator or supervisor. For example, if a font is not available the RIP can stop the file, or an error message can come up if a file is sent RGB instead of CMYK plates.
A sheetfed scanner is kinda like a fax machine, but it sends images to a computer instead of to a telephone line. They're mostly used for OCR and for capturing images of document pages, not so much for graphics. If you're trying to digitize a service manual for an airplane, this is the tool for the job. If you're trying to scan a picture of the airplane, there are better scanners to use.

How do copyright constraints affect you when using desktop publishing?
You need to be aware of any limitations placed on use by the creators of any fonts or images you include. For example, many free or cheap fonts are licensed for non-commercial use only; if you plan to sell the resulting document, you will need the copyright holder's permission. The same is true for images: if the specific usage you intend is not already licensed (through a Creative Commons or otherwise blanket license), you will need the copyright holder's permission.

Does Graphic Designing need post graduate education?

What is a written rationale for graphic design?
A written rationale is a description of your thought process behind your design. Good design is all about communication, not about just making things look pretty. For every decision in graphic design, there needs to be logic behind that decision. If you do good conceptual work, then a written rationale should be very very easy. Many students, however, do not do good conceptual work. Their work often tends to be shallow and surface-level, so many students see written rationales as torture.
When it comes to letter writing and business stationary what is a run-on page?
When a business letter continues onto page two for just a few words or couple small sentences, this makes a run-on page. The body of the letter might need edited (if you wrote it) to avoid the run on. If nothing can be deleted, then spacing should be revised on page one so there is a little more to put on page 2.

See Related links for a typeface directory. There is a large collection of fonts/typeface that imitate handwriting.

Also check to see if Microsoft word has anything like what you are looking for. They may offer a free font that is good enough for what you are looking for.
What does preflighting artwork mean?
The term is used to describe a methodical process used to ensure that a digital file created by a client and sent to a printer or service bureau is set up correctly. There is professional software available that can be customized to pre flight files. In printing terminology 'artwork' is anything created for printing.
Some of the steps in preflighting artwork are:
• making sure that all images are 300 dpi or better
• ensuring that all images are CMYK
• ensuring that all typefaces (fonts) are sent to the printer with the project file, or
• all typefaces are embedded in the project file, or
• all type is converted to outlines (this makes it impossible to edit type later)
• if any graphics extend to the edge of the printed page, projects must account for bleed
If you keep these things in mind when designing the project, you can basically preflight as you design. Nowadays, most layout programs (Quark Xpress, Adobe InDesign) include preflight functionality. Also, since many printers now take high-resolution PDF files for projects, the PDF exporting process lumps much of this preflighting into its export engine... you just have to thoroughly examine the PDF export summary before the final export.
