For all students and lecturers of basic engineering and technical drawing The new edition of this successful text describes all the geometric instructions and engineering drawing information, likely to be needed by anyone preparing or interpreting drawings or designs. There are also plenty of exercises to practise these principles.
The Manual of Engineering Drawing has long been recognised as the student and practising engineer's guide to producing engineering drawings that comply with ISO and British Standards. The information in this book is equally applicable to any CAD application or manual drawing. The second edition is fully in line with the requirements of the new British Standard BS8888: 2002, and will help engineers, lecturers and students with the transition to the new standards. BS8888 is fully based on the relevant ISO standards, so this book is also ideal for an international readership. The comprehensive scope of this book encompasses topics including orthographic, isometric and oblique projections, electric and hydraulic diagrams, welding and adhesive symbols, and guidance on tolerancing. Written by a member of the ISO committee and a former college lecturer, the Manual of Engineering Drawing combines up-to-the-minute technical accuracy with clear, readable explanations and numerous diagrams. This approach makes this an ideal student text for vocational courses in engineering drawing and undergraduates studying engineering design / product design. Colin Simmons is a member of the BSI and ISO Draughting Committees and an Engineering Standards Consultant. He was formerly Standards Engineer at Lucas CAV. * Fully in line with the latest ISO Standards * A textbook and reference guide for students and engineers involved in design engineering and product design * Written by a former lecturer and a current member of the relevant standards committees
With increased emphasis on visualization, the design process, and modern CAD technology, this edition of our popular Engineering Drawing and Design book provides readers with an approach to drafting that is consistent with the National Standards Institute (NSI) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). Newly reorganized, the first half of the book focuses attention on sketching, views, descriptive geometry, dimensioning, and pictorial drawings. The second half of the book invites readers to build upon these skills as they explore manufacturing materials and processes that span all of the engineering disciplines, including: welding, fluid power, piping, electricity/electronics, HVAC, sheet metal, and more! Each chapter contains realistic examples, technically precise illustrations, problems and related tests. Step-by-step methods, plus layout guidelines for preparing technically precise engineering drawings from sketches, are also featured throughout the book to provide readers with a logical approach to setting up and completing drawing problems. Ideal for use in introductory and advanced engineering graphics programs, the extraordinarily complete and current information in this book makes it an invaluable reference for professional engineers.
Engineering Drawing From First Principles is a guide to good draughting for students of engineering who need to learn how to produce technically accurate and detailed designs to British and International Standards. Written by Dennis Maguire, an experienced author and City and Guilds chief examiner, this text is designed for use on Further Education and University courses where a basic understanding of draughtsmanship and CAD is necessary. Although not written as an AutoCAD tutor, the book will be a useful introduction to good CAD practice. Part of the Revision and Self-Assessment series, 'Engineering Drawing From First Principles' is ideal for the student working alone. More than just a series of tests, the book helps assess current understanding, diagnose areas of weakness and directs the student to further help and guidance. This is a self-contained text, but it will also work well in conjunction with the highly successful 'Manual of Engineering Drawing', by Simmons and Maguire. Can be used with AutoCAD or AutoCAD LT Provides typical exam questions and carefully described worked solutions Allows students to work alone
This textbook introduces the basic concepts of engineering drawing and graphics, supplemented with numerous solved examples and exercises.
Engineering Drawing with CAD Applications is ideal for any engineering student, needing a user-friendly step-by-step guide to draughting, sketching and drawing. Fully revised to take into account developments in computer aided drawing, and to keep up with British Standards, this guide remains an ideal introduction to the subject. It provides readers with the basic knowledge and skills of draughting and takes them on to more interesting and advanced engineering drawing techniques and procedures. This latest revision of Ostrowsky's popoular Engineering Drawing represents a comprehensive introductory course in engineering drawing and sketching, and is sutiable for a wide range of college and university engineering students. The author concentrates on the techniques fundamental to effective drawing, key knowledge that is needed wether the drawings are carried out by hand, or via a CAD package. Copious illustrations and a clear, step-by-step approach make this book ideal for distance learning and assignment-based study.
This book covers most of the contents given in Engineering Drawing and Technical Drawing courses that are given at the undergraduate level for Engineering students. It is written in a short and precise way that is easy to read and understand and cover the following topics: Introduction, Theory of Projections, Multiview Drawings, Pictorial Drawings, Auxilary Views, Sectional Views and Development and Intersection of surfaces.
The text is designed for students and teachers in high schools, community colleges, technical institutes, and first-year university level. The text is intended to provide a wide range of topics in the fundamentals of graphics. Full attention is given to modern treatment, up-to-date standards, and ease of organization. The material is organized so as to include more emphasis on newer aspects of the field, such as computer aided drafting (CAD) and a smoother integration of metric units.
