Engineering Drawing and Design: Workbook, 3rd Edition (Delmar Drafting Series)

This edition provides readers with an approach to drafting that is consistent with the National Standards Institute (NSI) and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). The first half of the book focuses attention on sketching, views, descriptive geometry, dimensioning, and pictorial drawings. The second half allows readers to 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 engineering drawings from sketches, are also featured. Ideal for use in introductory and advanced engineering graphics programs, this book makes it an invaluable reference for professional engineers.
