"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. This 2nd Edition of "Introduction to Graphics Communication for Engineers" will have more sketching and design principles. 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. (Basic Engineering Series and Tools)", which consists of modularized textbooks offering virtually every topic and specialty likely to be of interest to engineers. All the texts boast distinguished authors and the most current content.
The goal of this series is to provide the educational community with material that is timely, affordable and of high quality. Now these "BEST" titles can be customized on-line to be sold to students either electronically or traditionally through bookstores.
