Engineering Graphics Text and Workbook

By Alena Hradilova

This book focuses on strengthening 3D visualization skills through sketching exercises. It does not make reference to any particular computer-aided design software package. Points emphasized: 1. Shape representation and problem solving using freehand sketching. Assignments can be completed outside class. 2. Surface Analysis -- A powerful approach to teaching visualization. 3. Establishes a process for solving problems. Students can solve features of objects before they can see; the shapes. 4. Challenging problems. Worksheet layouts allow faster progress. 5. Students learn how to think about shapes in three dimensions. 6. Students can prove every line on a drawing. There is no question whether the answer is correct or not. Table of Contents 1.
