| Abstract: | The present work investigated the current state of letter writing methods in the emerging field of engineering education and identifies difficulties experienced by scholars and educators who have been involved in teaching the subject Engineering Graphics. Most of the students are not able to follow the methods that are used to write letters since technical lettering being written in graphs by various authors of engineering drawing do not follow a specific procedure, and no standard practice is maintained so far. After thorough discussions with faculty members and students, it was identified that the difficulties with lettering were: d/h ratio and, curvatures. The ratio of height versus width of the capital letters varies in different ways which appear to produce a sense of confusion among engineering students and practitioners. The curvatures of various letters are not standard and are very difficult to remember. This took our interest for investigation, and a new method of lettering was developed and proposed, which is very simple, easy to remember and provides a standard method to be followed.
