4.0 out of 5 stars
Quickly becoming the standard,
This review is from: Technical Graphics Communication, 3rd edition (Hardcover)
This book is quickly becoming the standard in the field of engineering and technical graphics. The book presents in a very clear and concise way, (sometimes in a longer manner than needed) both traditional and modern approaches to technical engineering design fundamentals and graphics: Hand layouts and drawing views vs. CAD software usage.
The language of the book is provided in a clear and understandable way, which students can comprehend. There is also substantial instructor support materials for the classroom. At over 1000 pages, the book covers areas that may that be needed in a modern progressive engineering classroom, but they are available for reference. A big negative, the price for the students.
3.0 out of 5 stars

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Technical Graphics Communication, 3rd edition (Hardcover)
This book is alright. I wished they had more examples of complex orthographic drawings with their isometric drawings because that is where I'm struggling the most. I use this book for our graphic class at University of Houston, Texas. It is a good reference book. Good luck.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Good overall review of CAD,
This review is from: Technical Graphics Communication, 3rd edition (Hardcover)
If you're getting started in the CAD design industry this is a very good overall comprehensive review.
