Description
For Freshman or Introductory courses in Engineering and Computer Science.
Engineering has always required graphics to communicate ideas. However, the transition from hand drawings to computer-aided design has resulted in many important concepts being left out of the standard engineering curriculum. This book is a compact resource that connects traditional engineering graphics with computer-aided design.
