The Graphics Drawing Workbook is meant to be used with either Technical Graphics Communications 2nd Edition or Fundamentals of Graphics Communications 2nd Edition. However the workbook can be used with any good reference text including Graphics communication for engineers by this author.There are workbook problems for every major topic normally taught in an engineering or technical drawing course. Most of the problems can be drawn with instruments or sketched. a special emphasis has been put on freehand sketching in this workbook in response to the increased use of CAD in many technical drawing courses. It is expected that the instructor will supplement these problems with others from the text to fully reinforce technical drawing topics.

The complete day-to-day mechanical engineering drawing reference guide. Focusing on the technical drawing aspect of mechanical engineering design, the book shows exactly how to create technical drawings to a professional standard. The book has been created to the latest ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) drawing standards, the worldwide federation of national standards bodies. This makes the book invaluable for anyone creating or interpreting technical drawings throughout the world. Essential for designers, draftsmen, CAD users, engineers, technicians, inspection and workshop professionals, engineering students, hobbyists and inventors. 'As drawn' dimensioning examples given in all sections of the book 2D and 3D graphics throughout Simply arranged and quick to use Large format presentation for clarity All explanations and notes written in easy to understand plain English.

About the Book: Written by three distinguished authors with ample academic and teaching experience, this textbook, meant for diploma and degree students of Mechanical Engineering as well as those preparing for AMIE examination, incorporates the latest st

With increased emphasis on visualization, the design process, and modern CAD technology, this edition of our popular Engineering Drawing and Design book provides readers with an approach to drafting that is consistent with the National Standards Institute (NSI) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Newly reorganized, the first half of the book focuses attention on sketching, views, descriptive geometry, dimensioning, and pictorial drawings. The second half of the book invites readers to build upon these skills as they explore manufacturing materials and processes that span all of the engineering disciplines, including: welding, fluid power, piping, electricity/electronics, HVAC, sheet metal, and more! Each chapter contains realistic examples, technically precise illustrations, problems and related tests. Step-by-step methods, plus layout guidelines for preparing technically precise engineering drawings from sketches, are also featured throughout the book to provide readers with a logical approach to setting up and completing drawing problems. Ideal for use in introductory and advanced engineering graphics programs, the extraordinarily complete and current information in this book makes it an invaluable reference for professional engineers.

Engineering drawings are prepared to the ASME Y14 Series of Standard Drawing and Drafting Practices, accepted industry wide practices, and individual company standards. These standards establish uniform practices for anyone who either prepares drawings or reads the print with accepted methods to interpret the information on the drawing.
