For courses in Mechanical Desktop and AutoCAD. A Tutorial Guide to Mechanical Desktop provides a step-by-step introduction to this software, with commands taught "in context." Students make and assemble two complete projects as they follow step-by-step instructions to learn commands and techniques. As they progress, individual steps for common actions are no longer provided, so students can apply what they have learned by completing sequences on their own. This carefully developed pedagogy reinforces the cumulative learning approach and supports readers in becoming skilled Mechanical Desktop users. An excellent selection of exercises allows the student the opportunity to practice their skills.

Engineering Design Communication: Conveying Design Through Graphics, Second Edition, offers a new approach to the traditional engineering graphics course. This text is designed for students who are learning to use graphics, especially 3D modeling, as a tool for engineering design. The text takes a streamlined approach, emphasizing the how and why of 2D sketching, reading and visualizing objects from 2D views, and creating 3D models that will function as the design database. Case studies and industry examples illustrate ways that these skills support practicing engineers in their work. Students will learn to develop models that capture the design intent for a product or system, update properly when changes are made, and serve the many purposes associated with their role as the design database. Practical tips and step-by-step instruction support the hands-on nature of the course. The text is designed to be used with any modeling package, but it can be bundled with the SolidWorks Student Design Kit (and the authors point out specific SolidWorks tutorials that coordinate well with the chapters).. A reverse engineering project is continued through the text.

Engineering Design Communication is a new approach to the traditional engineering graphics course. The emphasis in the text reflects the changes that many schools are making to their graphics courses including the importance of sketching, 3D solid modeling, and the use of design databases throughout the engineering process. This text encourages readers to think about the broader context for their models so they plan for flexibility, downstream applications, and manufacture as they are learning to model. Gives readers a true foundation in graphic communication and the nature of visual information. Emphasizes sketching and visualization techniques throughout the text. Emphasizes solid and parametric modeling software as a means to building a design database. Fosters a real-world approach to engineering communication through the use of industry cases that profile practice in major corporation. Show how design goals influence the way models are made. Presents a wide variety of software and presentation tools. Prepares readers for the concurrent engineering environment where they must present ideas and work with non-technical personnel. Illustrates each technique with real examples of how it may be used so that readers can use it effectively in future studies and in the workplace. Prepares readers to evaluate and adopt new graphics tools as they are developed. Tutorial guides teach readers how to use a variety of solid and parametric modeling packages from a proven step-by-step approach used in other Lockhart tutorial guides. Step-by-step guides follow the organization of the text. For anyone interested in engineering graphics.
