Visualization, Modeling, and Graphics for Engineering Design Michigan Tech Edition

A new book for a new generation of engineering professionals, Visualization, Modeling, and Graphics for Engineering Design was written from the ground up to take a brand-new approach to graphic communication within the context of engineering design and creativity. With a blend of modern and traditional topics, this text recognizes how computer modeling techniques have changed the engineering design process. From this new perspective, the text is able to focus on the evolved design process, including the critical phases of creative thinking, product ideation, and advanced analysis techniques. Focusing on design and design communication rather than drafting techniques and standards, it goes beyond the what to explain the why of engineering graphics. Benefits: * Focuses on learning and fundamental skill development * Highlights visualization skills as a key development in the early stages of learning by exposing readers to many engineering models and physical devices * Presents real problems at the beginning of each chapter, shows the graphics solutions, then generalizes the solutions * Casual tone and learner-friendly approach * Examples throughout each chapter demonstrate best practices for topics covered.…
