Introduction to Graphics Communications for Engineers, Fifth Edition, is a workbook that teaches the fundamentals of sketching and engineering graphics principles in addition to improving the visualization abilities of students. The primary goal of this text is to assist students in learning the techniques and standards of communicating graphically so that design ideas can be clearly communicated and produced. This introductory text is for students in technical drawing and engineering graphics courses at both two- and four-year schools.
The text concentrates on the concepts and skills needed to sketch and create 2-D drawings and 3-D CAD models. Engineers still find it necessary to communicate and interpret design ideas through the use of graphical methods such as sketches and CAD drawings and models. As powerful as today’s computers and CAD software have become, they are of little use to engineers who do not fully understand fundamental graphics communications principles and 3-D modeling strategies, or who lack high-level visualization skills.
The workbook is divided into six chapters with multiple units of instruction. Chapter 1, “Introduction to Graphics Communications,” is an introduction to graphics communications as a language for engineers and describes the tools used and some of the techniques for communicating graphically. Chapter 2, “Sketching and Text,” is an introduction to sketching technique, projection theory, visualization, and the use of text on drawings. Chapter 3, “Section and Auxiliary Views,” introduces the student to the use of and technique for creating sectioned drawings and models and auxiliary views. Chapter 4, “Dimensioning and Tolerancing Practices,” describes how to create and read dimensional drawings. Chapter 5, “Reading and Constructing Working Drawings,” describes how to read and produce working drawings. Finally, Chapter 6, “Design and 3-D Modeling,” is an overview of 3-D modeling techniques and the engineering design process.
A few features of the fifth edition include:
- Design Problems to provide students an opportunity to exercise the various stages of the design process. The problems provide an ideation stage, a decision-making stage, design creation stage, and the documentation stage. Each problem includes provisions for sketching, 3-D modeling, and documentation of the student’s final solution to the problem.
- Practice Problems are included throughout each chapter in the fourth edition. These problems give students an opportunity to get drawing practice as they work through concepts.
- End-of-Chapter Sketching Problems reinforce what students are learning in the chapter.
- Student-Friendly Pedagogy includes a list of objectives at the beginning of chapters, step-by-step instructions on how to draw, and a wide assortment of problems that can be assigned to reinforce concepts.
Sketching worksheets have been integrated into the end of each chapter. These worksheets can be used for sketching assignments to augment assignments using CAD. After completing the workbook, the student will be able to create design sketches using various projection techniques, create and read 2-D standard engineering drawings, and create and visualize 3-D computer models.
