Interpreting Engineering Drawings

The 6th Canadian edition of Jensen's Interpreting Engineering Drawings is aimed at students in mechanical apprenticeship programs, including Machinists, Tool and Die Makers, and Industrial Millwrights - who need to understand the basic - and more complex - concepts involved in technical drawings and the communication of technical information. Jensen is the only blueprint reading text on the market designed to provide customized drawing interpretation courses for each and every student. Designed to contain far more information than is normally required for any traditional program, this text provides the instructor with the opportunity of selecting units of instruction that would best suit the needs of the students in that particular area or industry. It provides the theory and practical application for individuals to develop the intellectual skills needed to communicate technical concepts used throughout the international marketplace. The first chapters cover the core concepts of blueprint reading from orthographicviews to section views. The second and third sections include topics of different fields ofmechanical drafting such as structural steel, welding, piping, and GDT. Jensen is the only text on the market that follows CSA standards.

Comprehensive, state-of-the-art training is the cornerstone of this popular guide that shows users how to create professional-quality engineering drawings that can be interpreted with precision in today's technology-based industries. Clearly the most flexible, user-friendly book of its kind on the market, the seventh edition offers unsurpassed coverage of the theory and practical applications individuals need to communicate technical concepts in an international marketplace. All material is developed around the latest ASME drawing standards, helping readers keep pace with the dynamic changes in the field of engineering graphics.

We are proud to present the Fifth Canadian Edition of Interpreting Engineering Drawings. It is clearly the most comprehensive and up-to-date text of its kind. The authors have worked diligently to provide a text that will best prepare students to enter twenty-first century technology-intensive industries. It is also useful to those individuals working in technology-based industries who feel the need to enhance their understanding of key aspects of twenty-first century technology. To that end, the text offers the flexibility needed to provide instruction in as narrow or as broad a customized program of studies as is required or desired. Clearly, it provides the theory and practical application for individuals to develop the intellectual skills needed to communicate technical concepts used throughout the international marketplace.

The Manual of Engineering Drawing has long been recognised as the student and practising engineer's guide to producing engineering drawings that comply with ISO and British Standards. The information in this book is equally applicable to any CAD application or manual drawing. The second edition is fully in line with the requirements of the new British Standard BS8888: 2002, and will help engineers, lecturers and students with the transition to the new standards. BS8888 is fully based on the relevant ISO standards, so this book is also ideal for an international readership. The comprehensive scope of this book encompasses topics including orthographic, isometric and oblique projections, electric and hydraulic diagrams, welding and adhesive symbols, and guidance on tolerancing. Written by a member of the ISO committee and a former college lecturer, the Manual of Engineering Drawing combines up-to-the-minute technical accuracy with clear, readable explanations and numerous diagrams. This approach makes this an ideal student text for vocational courses in engineering drawing and undergraduates studying engineering design / product design. Colin Simmons is a member of the BSI and ISO Draughting Committees and an Engineering Standards Consultant. He was formerly Standards Engineer at Lucas CAV. * Fully in line with the latest ISO Standards * A textbook and reference guide for students and engineers involved in design engineering and product design * Written by a former lecturer and a current member of the relevant standards committees
