Preface

PREFACE

ABOUT THIS BOOK

We have designed Modern Graphics Communication to present succinctly the practices and techniques of sketching, visualization, design and CAD that are important to today's graphics curriculum. Based on the long standing authoritative text on the subject, Giesecke's Technical Drawing, this text preserves many of the time tested graphics techniques that remain fundamental to the class, and were so clearly explained in Giesecke's original volume. However, we have rewritten this book to provide a shorter, more lively presentation that covers current course trends, and includes pedagogy appropriate for the modern student. The topics of sketching and visualization skills are this book's primary focus, and provide a solid conceptual basis for the CAD instruction most graphics students receive. We have employed a new format that utilizes integrated on-the-page activities to help students visualize and retain key concepts, unifying art and text into powerful instructional tools easily digested by today's hurried students. Students who complete Modern Graphics Communication will leave with a full repertoire of graphical skills they will find invaluable both in education and industry.

KEY ELEMENTS

We have designed the second edition of this text based upon the input of first edition users and reviewers. Elements include:

  • NEWIncreased coverage of the design process in Chapter 1—This chapter now includes more coverage of 3-D solid Modeling, and parametric or constraint based modeling. Each chapter also features several student design projects.
  • NEWMore Sketching Worksheets—A selection of new worksheets is included at the end of the book and focus more on sketching techniques.
  • NEWThoroughly updated material on manufacturing as well as new coverage of geometric tolerancing.—We are especially thankful to Serope Kalpakjian for help with these sections.
  • NEWStudent CD-ROM contains 25 animations keyed to concepts in the text.—Each concept with an accompanying animation is marked in the text with a CD-ROM icon.
  • Continued Emphasis on Sketching, Visualization, Design, and CAD—Instead of extensive material on using instruments, this text highlights a sketching approach to graphics.
  • Exceptional Student Pedagogy—This text continues to feature student pedagogy designed to integrate art and text into self-contained teaching units. These features include:
    STEP BY STEP—These boxes explain essential techniques and processes in detail, using an easy-to-read, visual format. They are vital learning tools that should be given equal importance with the body of the text.
    PRACTICAL TIP—These boxes contain useful tips for sketching techniques or CAD procedures.
    HANDS-ON—This feature provides an opportunity for the student to practice a technique s/he just learned by trying a quick and easy activity right on the page. These are great confidence builders.
    TEAR-OUT WORKSHEETS—Six teen activities that help students visualize and retain information presented in the text. All are located at the end of the book.
    GRAPHICS SPOTLIGHT—Boxes that highlight up-to-date information on how graphics and CAD are used in the field. They appear in each chapter and include the following topics:
    –A Day at Ideo U
    –Unlocking the Power of Solid Modeling Sketching and Parametric Modeling
    –From Art to Part
    –Multiview Projection from a 3D Model
    –3D Pictorials Aid Designers of Future Electronic Cars Modeling Irregular Surfaces
    –High Technology is First Mate in the Race for America's Cup
    –Digital Polish for Factory Floors
    –Semiautomatic Dimensioning Using CAD
    –Geometric Tolerances with AutoCAD 2000 Fastener Libraries
    –Technical Document Management Systems
    WEB LINKS—Addresses of web sites are included to provide starting points for independent research that apply to the subject matter.
  • Each chapter contains an introductory overview, objectives, key terms, a chapter summary, and review questions to help students organize their reading and review what they have learned.
  • Design projects and problems provide ample context for students to practice solving graphic problems. These are located at the end of each chapter.
  • An eight page color insert provides a cost effective means to give students a feel for how color is used in CAD software without obscuring the basic context of the text. It also allows us to keep the cost of the textbook at an affordable price for students.
  • A complete appendix and index provide readily accessed reference tools that students will find useful during the course and afterward in professional settings.
SUPPLEMEMS

INSTRUCTOR'S MANUAL WITH CD-ROM—INCLUDES SOLUTIONS AND POWERPOINT SLIDES
This text will have its own instructors guide containing solutions to review questions and teaching tips for each chapter. It will also contain a CD holding 1) animations keyed to, the text for classroom use and distribution, 2) an extensive set of Powerpoint lectures for instructor use, 3) CAD solutions of most of the text's problems, and 4) selected text images in pdf format. Material for this supplement was prepared by Tom Kane, of Pueblo Community College, Shawna Lockhart, and W. Mark Perkins of the University of Montana-Bowman.

HTTP://WWW.PRENHALL.COM/GIESECKE
In order to provide instructors and students with the most current information possible, Prentice Hall has created the Giesecke Web site. This expanded site now features information appropriate to the entire Giesecke series of texts. Forty animations (twenty-five of these keyed directly to this text) are viewable on-line or can be downloaded to a local PC or network. A Question and Answer feature lets students answer questions on-line and submit their responses to instructors via E-mail. Case studies focus on how actual companies design actual products. A section on VRML 3D browsing lets students download a 3D browser and explore various web sites. Lastly, an extensive set of web links, including every citation in this text, helps students navigate the World Wide Web.

WORKBOOKS
For those who need extra projects for students, Prentice Hall offers a set of 3 workbooks:

  • Series 1 (ISBN 0-13-658536-1) This book contains traditional workbook problems.
  • Series 2 (ISBN 0-13-658881-6) This book contains traditional problems with an emphasis on engineering concepts.
  • Series 3 (ISBN 0-13-125954-3) A brand new workbook by Paige Davis and Karen Juneau of the Louisiana State University. This book contains modern problems, as well as an extensive, CAD-based project.
