Description
Engineering Graphics Communications is an introductory design graphics text intended for use in the engineering drawing or engineering graphics course. This text presents graphic theory and technique in combination with modern topics such as computer tools, sketching, visualization for design, 3D or solid modeling, and manufacturing/production processes. AutoCAD and CADKEY work texts were developed in parallel with Engineering Graphics Communications, to provide a consistent interface between the traditional techniques found in the text and the computer based techniques of AutoCAD and CADKEY's latest software releases. The book is divided into four parts and each chapter is independent, allowing instructors the flexibility to pick and choose topics or to cover the entire book in multiple courses. This complete reference text teaches engineering students major drafting methods and techniques as well as important theory and descriptive geometry. Engineering Graphics is discussed in terms of the design process.
