New from Delmar Learning, Fundamentals of Modern
Drafting exposes readers to the world of contemporary drafting, offering
a direct route to understanding and applying basic technical and
engineering drawing concepts such as sketching and lettering guidelines,
drafting conventions and formats, multiview, development, and pictorial
drawing procedures, geometric tolerancing practices, and more!
The author's skill-based, building-block approach
uses freehand sketching, instrument drawing, and introductory CAD skills
to introduce readers, in logical progression, to 100% of the drafting
fundamentals they need to successfully prepare finished working drawings
for production. Exercises in every chapter of this heavily illustrated
yet cost-effective book progress from simple to complex propelling
readers to new hands-on skills while promoting creativity.
In-depth discussion of the design process,
use of current ASME 14.5M-1994 standards, and links from manual drafting
exercises in the text to CADD exercises in the companion Workbook
provide optimal preparation for today's workplace. Coverage of
descriptive geometry is also included, paving the way for readers who
want to pursue further study of more advanced engineering design
graphics principles and techniques. 530 pp.
