Visualization for Engineers and Scientists: An Engineering Graphics Text for Design Programs

Visualization for Engineers and Scientist is the design guide to help students understand the need for graphics in the solution of an engineering design problem. Visualization of an engineering problem is the start of the solution. Engineering graphics represent the outcome of this visualization. This textbook provides the basics for good design communication. The basic understanding of sketching successfully leads students into computer graphics. The understanding of perspective views, orthographic views, and isometric views provide the proper introduction to CAD systems.
