This full-color text offers a clear introduction and detailed reference for creating and interpreting technical drawings, whether using 2D CAD or 3D modeling. The important role that 3D CAD databases play in design and documentation is a central emphasis. Superbly integrated illustrations, step-by-step instructions, and navigation features help you master key skills and knowledge. Throughout, the authors demonstrate 3D and 2D drawing skills and CAD usage in the context of real-world practice in today's leading disciplines. They combine strong technical detail, real-world examples, and current standards, materials, industries, and processes―all in a format that is efficient, colorful, and visual.

About the Author
Frederick E. Giesecke, founder of the first formal architectural education program in Texas at what is today Texas A&M University, has been described as “a wunderkind of the first magnitude.” He joined the A&M faculty at the age of 17, after graduating in 1886 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. By the age of 19, was appointed head of A&M's Department of Mechanical Drawing. Having studied architectural drawing and design at Cornell University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Giesecke also served as head of the Department of Architecture and the official college architect at Texas A&M, designing many campus buildings that are still standing today.
Shawna Lockhart is a long-time admirer of Giesecke's legacy and was honored to carry on the commitment to a clear, engaging, thorough, and well-organized presentation that began with Giesecke. Lockhart is known as an early adopter and authority on CAD technologies. She is an instructor noted for outstanding dedication to students and for encouraging a broad spectrum of individuals, particularly women and minorities, to follow careers in engineering-related fields. Lockhart now works full time to ensure that the Giesecke graphics series continually applies to an evolving variety of technical disciplines.
