What's New
New Feature—Supplemental Solid Modeling Exercises—A series of new problems focusing on 3-D solid modeling for parts and assemblies have been developed and are included in a special section at the ends of Chapter 10 Multiview Drawing, Chapter 13 Auxiliary Views, Chapter 16 Section Views, and Chapter 20 Working and Assembly Drawings. Visual examples for each part and assembly have been created with various solid modeling software packages and are included with engineering sketches to aid students in visualizing part geometry and the modeling process.
Design Problems—The new design problems in Chapter 3 were developed to provide students an opportunity to exercise the various stages of the design process outlined in this chapter. Each problem includes provisions for sketching, 3D modeling, and documentation of the student's final solution to the problem.
Dream High Tech Jobs – This motivational feature is included in many chapters and describes interesting jobs that are available to engineers and technologists who have mastered technical communications.
Illustrations/Photos – Many new illustrations and photos have been added to the fourth edition.
