Hi
I'm a first year engineering student from Egypt. It's known that as physics is understood in the language of mathematics engineering is understood in the language of drawing. And since I am an engineering student I was searching for educational and detailed engineering drawings for nearly everything I see from bridges to smart phones.

I saw a lot of drawings in books. But I still need more. Consider a fridge for example. I want the detailed drawings needed by a manufacturer or made by a designer. I know they may not be available. But how can I solve my understanding problem. I am also searching for CAD models.
Thanks

You can probably use Google Images and good search terms to find lots of engineering drawings. Also, in a regular Google search, you can use the phrase service manual. When I did a Google search on service manual refrigerator, I got lots of good hits. Here's one:
