"Introduction to Graphics Communication for Engineers" is a short introductory technical drawing text intended for use in technical drawing or drafting courses at two and four year schools or other technology programs. Powerful computers and CAD software are of little use to engineers who do not fully understand the fundamentals of graphics communication principles and 3-D modeling strategies, or do not possess a level of visualization ability. Because of this, Bertoline concentrates on the concepts and skills necessary to sketch and create 2-D drawings and 3-D CAD models in this text. Bertoline also heightens the book's emphasis on teaching students the techniques and standards of communicating graphically, so that design ideas can be clearly communicated and produced. This book is part of the "B.E.S.T." series (Basic Engineering Series and Tools), which consists of modularized textbooks offering virtually every topic and specialty likely to be of interest to engineers.
Bertoline's texts are the leading books for engineering and technical graphics.
Introduction to Graphics Communication for Engineers with CD-ROM presents both traditional and modern approaches to technical graphics, providing engineering and technology students with a strong foundation in standard drafting practices and techniques. A strong emphasis on design and industry is found throughout, reinforcing the real and practical ways that technical graphics skills are used in real companies.
Introduction to Graphics Communication for Engineers is a text in the B.E.S.T. series that introduces students to the standard practices used by engineers to communicate graphically. The primary goal of the text is to teach engineering students the techniques and standards of communicating graphically so that design ideas can be clearly communicated and produced.
