The pilot study conducted in this respect concerns, in the first stage, the definition of these elements of engineering education which are crucial for graphical subjects to design syllabuses in order to achieve expected learning outcomes. A framework for graphicacy curricula development will be defined while taking into account the element of lifelong learning. In conclusion, the direction of the further research work will be formulated in order to enhance graphicacy capability among engineering students and within engineering studies.
