Engineering Design Graphics: Sketching, Modeling, and Visualization - Tapa blanda

Reseña del editor

Engineering Design Graphics provides a clear, concise treatment of the essential topics addressed in a modern engineering design graphics course. Projection theory provides the instructional framework, and freehand sketching the means for learning the important graphical concepts at the core of this work. The text includes several hundred sketching problems, all serving to develop the student's ability to use sketching for ideation and communication, as well as a means to develop critical spatial visualization skills. A chapter on computer-aided product design software, with an emphasis on parametric solid modeling, is also included.

Contraportada

The straightest line to mastering engineering.

Engineering isn’t all right-brain thinking; every engineer must master at least the basics of graphics, sketching, and modeling—both freehand and computer-assisted. Whatever your artistic talents, this book will give you the skills you need to develop your visualization skills and express your engineering vision graphically.

Following a unique approach that uses planar projection theory as a framework for discussing freehand sketching techniques, Engineering Design Graphics: Visualization, Sketching and Modeling guides you through critical concepts ranging from projection theory and pictorial sketching to parametric solid modeling and product dissection. From freehand drawing to 3-D CAD, the book introduces you to:

• Engineering design
• Sketching and other concepts
• Planar projections and pictorial views
• Multiviews
• Auxiliary and section views
• Dimensioning and tolerancing
• Computer-aided product design software
• Working drawings
• Product dissection, reverse engineering and redesign

Bringing together topics you’d usually need multiple books to cover, Engineering Design Graphics gives you the skills you need to do visual justice to your brilliant engineering ideas.
