Civil Drafting For The Engineering Technician

Civil Drafting For The Engineering Technician is an important reference for students who wish to learn the process of creating different types of drawings that are typically necessary for civil design. The text will also enable readers to discover how changing parts of the design can affect the entire project process.  The text contains real-life civil design projects created through each chapter of the book in order to prepare readers for what to expect when working in the industry.

This book also features coverage of the fundamental setups and standards for the beginning of any civil design CAD project, as well as funnel concepts for most civil engineering projects such as contours, surveying and grading. The methods for estimating different quantities for the types of materials and work that will likely be encountered when involved in actual drafting design assignments is also discussed. 160 pps.

Features:

• Still design topics discussed throughout the text with a straightforward language on the applications of CAD so readers can make real-world connections with concepts learned throughout the lectures.
• Hands-on project that runs the length of the book to incorporate related assignments at the end of each chapter and will allow readers to think about how each decision is affecting all of the other drawings in the project.
• Drawings are discussed at length, including cover sheets, profile sheets, quality sheets and cross-sections.
• The book uses a big picture approach to embrace topics in the text of a project in order to give readers a more enhanced learning experience.
