Basic Engineering Drawing

An introduction to the basics of engineering drawing. Orthographic projection, conventions, spectioning, pictorial representation and dimensioning have all been covered in detail. It should be useful for Craft Technician (BTEC), OND and GCSE students.

Basic Engineering Drawing will provide an ideal ‘lead-in' and accompaniment to Computer Aided Design, as virtually all of the exercises can be transferred to the screen.

The rules of engineering drawing are the same at whatever level they are used and this book will be suitable for a range of courses from GCSE Craft Design and Technology through CGLI ad BTEC to Degree (especially where students need to acquire a knowledge quickly). Excellent for self-study, many of the exercises can be completed by tracing which will improve the students' sketching skills.
