Feature Summary
"Design in Industry" boxes are presented in every chapter to illustrate how graphics and design are being used in industry today.
Learning Objectives begin each chapter to help the student set learning goals and determine if they have been met at the end of the chapter.
Basic design concepts are introduced in chapter 2. A new chapter on design concepts with over 100 open-ended design problems has been added (chapter 20).
The Online Learning Center includes quiz questions, key terms, images from the text, Additional AutoCAD problems, PPT slides, links to design case studies and visualization exercises, chapter outlines, and animations of important concepts.
CAD references key the theory and traditional drawing material to its CAD-specific companion material in Leach's AutoCad Assistant workbook.
Full-color illustrations, many from industry, and real-world photos show students the power of the graphics medium in all engineering disciplines.
Emphasis is placed on modern topics and practices, such as sketching, visualization, and three-dimensional modeling.
Step-by-step technique boxes walk students through proper drawing methods.
Integrated design communication problems can be assigned at the start of the course and carried through until the end with specific exercises keyed to most chapters.
