Bertoline's texts are the leading books for engineering and technical graphics. Introduction to Graphics Communication for Engineers with CD-ROM presents both traditional and modern approaches to technical graphics, providing engineering and technology students with a strong foundation in standard drafting practices and techniques. A strong emphasis on design and industry is found throughout, reinforcing the real and practical ways that technical graphics skills are used in real companies. Introduction to Graphics Communication for Engineers is a text in the B.E.S.T. series that introduces students to the standard practices used by engineers to communicate graphically. The primary goal of the text is to teach engineering students the techniques and standards of communicating graphically so that design ideas can be clearly communicated and produced.
