Synopsis

This learn-by-doing book is designed for courses in Introduction to CAD where students will be using the Pro/Engineer software program. Clear and easy to follow, the book focuses on how to use the essential commands of Pro/Engineer regardless of which version of Pro/Engineer you may be using. Brief enough for a one- or two-credit course, the book includes a set of tutorial lessons that gradually build users' skills in using Pro/Engineer software in mechanical-engineering design.
