Introduction To Graphics Communications For Engineers

Introduction to Graphics Communications for Engineers, Third Edition, introduces engineering students to the standard practices used by engineers to communicate graphically. The primary goal of this text is to assist engineering students in learning the techniques and standards of communicating graphically so that design ideas can be clearly communicated and produced. The text concentrates on the concepts and skills needed to sketch and create 2-D and 3-D CAD models.

This introductory text is intended for use in technical drawing or drafting courses. The author concentrates on the concepts and skills necessary to sketch and create 2-D drawings and 3-D CAD models.

Introduction to Graphics Communications for Engineers, Fifth Edition, is a workbook that teaches the fundamentals of sketching and engineering graphics principles in addition to improving the visualization abilities of students. The primary goal of this text is to assist students in learning the techniques and standards of communicating graphically so that design ideas can be clearly communicated and produced. This introductory text is for students in technical drawing and engineering graphics courses at both two- and four-year schools.

This completely rewritten adaptation of Giesecke utilizes an abundance of hands-on activities and clear step-by-step descriptions to teach users freehand sketching and visualization skills for engineering graphics. The eighth edition features reorganized, consolidated coverage of Solid Modeling, new drawing problems, and fully proofed drawings. Other chapter topics include design and graphic communication, introduction to cad and solid modeling, freehand sketching and lettering techniques, geometric construction and modeling basics, multi-view sketching and projection, pictorial sketching, sectional views, dimensioning, and tolerancing, For individuals interested in the fields of technical drawing and engineering graphics.

Bertoline places a strong emphasis on design and industrial applications. Examples are found throughout the text, reinforcing the real and practical ways that technical graphics skills are used in real companies. This text presents both traditional and modern approaches to technical graphics, providing engineering and technology students with a strong foundation in standard drafting practices and techniques.

Fundamentals of Graphics Communication presents a modern approach to engineering and technical graphics. It covers drawing techniques from a modern, CAD-oriented perspective, as well as a traditional perspective. The engineering design process receives special attention throughout this text, through the use of design case studies, a consistent problem-solving methodology, many real examples taken from industry, and a selection of design problems for the student to try. The text is supported by a rich assortment of supplements, including CAD workbooks, additional drawing problems, animation, tutorials, and a dynamic On-Line Learning center for students and instructors.
