Engineering Graphics

Engineering Graphics Essentials gives students a basic understanding of how to create and read engineering drawings by presenting principles in a logical and easy to understand manner. It covers the main topics of engineering graphics, including tolerancing and fasteners. This textbook also includes independent learning material containing supplemental content to further reinforce these principles. This textbook makes use of a large variety of exercise types that are designed to give students a superior understanding of engineering graphics and encourages greater interaction during lectures. The independent learning material allows students to explore the topics in the book on their own and at their own pace. The main content of the independent learning material contains pages that summarize the topics covered in the book. Each page has audio recordings that simulate a lecture environment. Interactive exercises are included and allow students to go through the instructor-led and in-class student exercises found in the book on their own. Also included are videos that walk students through examples and show them exactly how and why each step is performed.

This text is intended for introductory engineering graphics courses. Engineering Graphics is an innovative text that provides a fresh perspective to engineering graphics. It is designed for first-year engineering and technology students to give them a good base regardless of which area of engineering they will specialize in. This text has been written to teach a skill: it presents drawing, sketching, and visualization as a means of thinking through complex problems, not simply as the product of a CAD process.

Engineering Graphics has been serving the community of engineers as the only medium through which all sorts of engineering communications regarding planning as well as design can be made. Hence it is essential for all engineers to achieve the capability of reading, preparing and interpreting drawings. The aim of the book is to provide a well-built foundation of engineering drawing to the beginners and to provide a scope to have a brushing up facility for the practicing engineers. Keeping these two basic objectives in view, a step-by-step approach has been adopted - starting from drawing instruments, sheets, scales, curves, etc. The guidelines as laid in different codes published by Bureau of Indian Standard are mentioned and followed. Involved association of the authors with the subject for a pretty long time in various capacities like teacher, examiner, paper-setter, and head-examiner has enriched the book in terms of content and its approach of dealing. Sufficient number of worked out examples and multiple choice questions are provided to have a holistic view of the subject.

With increased emphasis on visualization, the design process, and modern CAD technology, this edition of our popular Engineering Drawing and Design book provides readers with an approach to drafting that is consistent with the National Standards Institute (NSI) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Newly reorganized, the first half of the book focuses attention on sketching, views, descriptive geometry, dimensioning, and pictorial drawings. The second half of the book invites readers to build upon these skills as they explore manufacturing materials and processes that span all of the engineering disciplines, including: welding, fluid power, piping, electricity/electronics, HVAC, sheet metal, and more! Each chapter contains realistic examples, technically precise illustrations, problems and related tests. Step-by-step methods, plus layout guidelines for preparing technically precise engineering drawings from sketches, are also featured throughout the book to provide readers with a logical approach to setting up and completing drawing problems. Ideal for use in introductory and advanced engineering graphics programs, the extraordinarily complete and current information in this book makes it an invaluable reference for professional engineers.

Engineering Graphics with AutoCAD 2013 teaches technical drawing using AutoCAD 2013 as its drawing instrument, complying with ANSI standards. Taking a step-by-step approach, it encourages you to work at your own pace and uses sample problems and illustrations to guide you through the powerful features of this drawing program. Nearly 150 exercise problems provide an opportunity to develop your creativity and problem-solving capabilities.

Designed as a text for the undergraduate students of all branches of engineering, this compendium gives an opportunity to learn and apply the popular drafting software AutoCAD in designing projects. The textbook is organized in three comprehensive parts. Part I (AutoCAD) deals with the basic commands of AutoCAD, a popular drafting software used by engineers and architects. Part II (Projection Techniques) contains various projection techniques used in engineering for technical drawings. These techniques have been explained with a number of line diagrams to make them simple to the students. Part III (Descriptive Geometry), mainly deals with 3-D objects that require imagination. The accompanying CD contains the animations using creative multimedia and PowerPoint presentations for all chapters. In a nutshell, this textbook will help students maintain their cutting edge in the professional job market. KEY FEATURES : Explains fundamentals of imagination skill in generic and basic forms to crystallize concepts. Includes chapters on aspects of technical drawing and AutoCAD as a tool. Treats problems in the third angle as well as first angle methods of projection in line with the revised code of Indian Standard Code of Practice for General Drawing.

Engineering Graphics, in its 13th year, has been succinctly revised for the Engineering students of 1st year of Gujarat Technological University, AhmedabadBeginning with the units, dimensions and standard, this book discusses the measurement and measurement errors. Then, it goes on to discuss electronics equipment,measurements of low resistence and A.C. bridges.Moreover,the book deals with the cathode ray oscilloscopes.Further,it describes various instrument calibration. Finally,the book deals with recorders and plotters.
