The author, well-known for presenting concepts and techniques in the most precise, accessible manner possible, introduces students to the fundamentals of engineering design through a highly visual format and numerous step-by-step examples and hands-on exercises. As a matter of fact, Engineering Design Graphics is one of the few texts available today that actually features illustrations drawn by its author.
