Fundamentals of Technical Graphics concentrates on the main concepts and principles of technical graphics and provides users with the information they need most in an easy and straightforward manner. The book is divided into two volumes: Volume I contains Chapters 1 to 5, where as Volume II comprises of Chapters 6 to 10. The chapters and topics are organized in a sequence that makes learning a gradual transition from one level to another. However, each chapter is presented in a self-contained manner and may be studied separately. In each chapter, techniques are presented for implementing the topics treated. Chapter 1 gives the basic information a beginner needs to get started with drafting. Chapter 2 focuses on basic sketching tools and techniques. Chapter 3 discusses computer design drafting (CDD) systems and provides relevant information to make the student an informed user of the systems. Chapter 4 covers shape construction, the foundation of creating drawing views. Chapter 5 presents the principles and techniques for creating standard multiview drawings. Chapter 6 discusses auxiliary view creation, whereas Chapter 7 focuses on section view creation. Basic dimensioning is covered in Chapter 8. Isometric pictorials are presented in Chapter 9. Working drawings are covered in Chapter 10, the heart of drafting, and practical information is provided for creating them. The Appendix provides introductory discussions about screw fasteners, general and geometric tolerancing, and surface quality and symbols.

Fundamentals of Technical Graphics concentrates on the main concepts and principles of technical graphics. The book is divided into two volumes: volume one contains chapters one to five, whereas volume two comprises of chapters six to ten. Volume one covers the topics of drafting guidelines, free hand sketching, computer design drafting (CDD) systems, geometric and shape construction, and standard multiview drawing creation. Volume two treats the topics of auxiliary views, section views, basic dimensioning, isometric drawings, and working drawings. The appendices provide introductory discussions about screw fasteners, general and geometric tolerancing, and surface quality and symbols. The book is written with current drafting standards of American National Standards Institute/American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ANSI/ASME) in mind. The style is plain and discussions are straight to the point. Its principle goal is meeting the needs of first- and second-year students in engineering, engineering technology, design technology, and related disciplines.

The book is designed as a material for instruction and study for students and instructors of engineering, engineering technology, and design technology. It should be useful to technical consultants, design project managers, CDD managers, design supervisors, design engineers, and everyone interested in learning the fundamentals of design drafting. The book is in accord with current standards of American National Standards Institute/American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ANSI/ASME). Its principal goal is meeting the needs of first- and second-year students in engineering, engineering technology, design technology, and related disciplines.

"Fundamentals of Modern Drafting offers a direct route to understanding and applying basic technical and engineering drawing concepts such as sketching and lettering guidelines, drafting conventions and formats, multiview, development, and pictorial drawing procedures, geometric tolerancing practices, and more! The author's skill-based, building-block approach uses freehand sketching, instrument drawing, and introductory CADD skills to introduce readers, in logical progression, to 100% of the drafting fundamentals they need to successfully prepare finished working drawings for production. Exercises in every chapter of this heavily illustrated book progress from simple to complex propelling readers to new hands-on skills while promoting creativity. In-depth discussion of the design process, use of current ASME 14.5M-1994 standards, and links from manual drafting exercises in the text to CADD exercises in the companion Workbook provide optimal preparation for today's workplace. Coverage of descriptive geometry is also included for readers who want to pursue further study of more advanced engineering design graphics principles and techniques.
