Abstract-. Engineering Graphics and Design (EGD) is a compulsory subject that pre-service teachers in Technology Education take in South African Universities and it is often paired with Mechanical/ Electrical/ Civil and or Information Technology. The study used a mixed method approach and it was conducted to forty University's pre-service students who had Civil Technology (CT) as their majors who were selected using purposive sampling procedure. Questionnaire data was analyzed statistically using the SPSS software and interview data was analyzed descriptively using themes derived from quotes and narratives. Findings elucidate that CT practical activities do play a role towards learning EGD. Preservice teachers also said that they find it easier to use drawing models in learning CT lessons. The study then recommends that a thorough and relevant technical pedagogy be developed towards the teaching and learning of CT and EGD.
