Engineering Design Graphics, 11th Edition

About

Features

• NEW - Devotes two chapters to computer graphics using AutoCAD 2003—Covers 2D and 3D graphics by computer, with examples of problems solved by computer throughout the text.

  • Provides information in a “how-to” format so that students are given clear direction in the applications being presented on this software.

• NEW - Extensively covers the principles of design and creativity—Presents sample worksheets used in case studies, and provides examples from industry to illustrate how graphics are used in all design from products to system. Includes over 100 design problems ranging from simple to complex.

  • Gives students a practical and tangible foundation from which to work so they are equipped to complete more advanced projects.

• NEW - Contains new examples, problems, and illustrations.

  • Offers students fresh study resources, stimulating interest and aiding comprehension.

• Two-color, step-by-step illustrations—Depicts figures in two colors using a sequence of steps with accompanying explanatory text.

  • Allows students to work at their own pace on each project with a minimum need for supervision.

• Industrial Applications—Furnishes examples, illustrations and problems from industry to make subject matter more practical and relevant.

  • Provides students with real-world examples so they can better grasp and apply the concepts under study.

• Presents Standards of Engineering Drawings—Implements examples and illustrations throughout the text using the ANSI standards required for the preparation of engineering drawings.

  • Enables instructors to stress these principles with greater ease.

• Flexible structure and organization—Fundamentals of engineering are examined using a multi-level approach that allows the material to be covered via sketching, instrument drawings, or by computer.

  • Provides instructors with flexibility and options on how to present the material.

Description

Engineering Design Graphics offers an extremely practical, straight forward approach to the subject, covering areas such as design and creativity, computer graphics, engineering drawing standards, spatial analysis, and problem solving. The 11th Edition has now been completely updated to reflect AutoCAD release 2004. Organized and presented in a clear and accessible manner, this text introduces students to the fundamentals of engineering design through a highly visual format and numerous step-by-step examples and hands-on exercises. The Eleventh Edition has now been completely updated to reflect AutoCAD release 2004.
