Bertoline's text covers the latest CAD tools available to engineering and technology students. As powerful as today's computers and CAD software have become, they are of little use to engineers and technologists who do not fully understand the fundamental graphics principles and 3-D modeling strategies. The new edition covers the fundamentals while emphasizing the important concepts: visualization, 3D modeling, real-world design, problem solving and teamwork.
