Appropriate for introductory undergraduate courses in engineering and technology programs. Also valuable for technical programs offered by community colleges and technical institutes, including those covering machine tool, automotive, electronics and electrical, maintenance and welding.

This straightforward approach to engineering graphics introduces the basics of communicating ideas through detailed and accurate three-view or pictorial sketches that can enable working drawings to be produced by computer. It also explains how to interpret working drawings as well as the basic principles of graphic communications toward understanding computer-aided drafting and design.
