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.

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!Step-by-step methods, plus layout guidelines for preparing technically precise engineering drawingsfrom sketches, are also featured throughout to provide readers with a logical approach to setting up and completing drawing problems.
