A thoroughly contemporary approach to teaching essential engineering graphics skills has madeFundamentals of Graphics Communicationthe leading textbook in introductory engineering graphics courses. The sixth edition continues to integrate design concepts and the use of CAD into its outstanding coverage of the basic visualization and sketching techniques that enable students to create and communicate graphic ideas effectively.As in past editions, the authors have included many examples of how graphics communication pertains to "real-world" engineering design, including current industry practices and breakthroughs. A dynamic website provides additional resources such as an image library, animations, and quizzes.
