Engineering Design Graphics: Sketching, Modeling, And Visualization, 2Nd Edition

Leake (industrial and enterprise systems engineering, U. of Illinois-Urbana-Champaign) updates his 2008 textbook for a modern engineering design graphics course. Projection theory provides the instructional framework, and freehand sketching the means for learning the important graphical concepts. It contains several hundred sketching problems to develop the student's ability to use sketching for ideation and communication as well as a means to develop critical visualization skills. This edition contains 38 worksheets with more than 80 sketching problems, so students can work directly in the book. Also new are two detailed example problems that focus on developing visualization skills. Annotation c2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
