Fundamentals Of Technical Graphics Volume I

Fundamentals of Technical Graphics concentrates on the main concepts and principles of technical graphics. The book is divided into two volumes: volume one contains chapters one to five, whereas volume two comprises of chapters six to ten. Volume one covers the topics of drafting guidelines, free hand sketching, computer design drafting (CDD) systems, geometric and shape construction, and standard multiview drawing creation. Volume two treats the topics of auxiliary views, section views, basic dimensioning, isometric drawings, and working drawings. The appendices provide introductory discussions about screw fasteners, general and geometric tolerancing, and surface quality and symbols. The book is written with current drafting standards of American National Standards Institute/American Society for Mechanical Engineers (ANSI/ASME) in mind. The style is plain and discussions are straight to the point. Its principle goal is meeting the needs of first- and second-year students in engineering, engineering technology, design technology, and related disciplines.

Developing Strengths-Based Project Teams integrates common project management and strengths-based talent development language to help you and your project team learn about and become a strengths-based project team. Everyone has talents and strengths. Everyone does projects. This book is designed for project managers, team members, and stakeholders who have an interest in talent development—not only their own talents and strengths, but also the combined talents and strengths of their project teams. Learn about the characteristics of a strengths-based project team. Apply a series of building blocks for individual and team strengths-based development. Through exercises, templates, action plans, and reflective questions, learn how to cultivate the collective strengths of project team members to become a strengths-based project team. Explore the various project management roles for sustaining a strengths-based project team culture. Create an environment in which team members can use their talent development tools long-term to develop and apply what they naturally do best—resulting in higher project team performance.

Fundamentals of Technical Graphics concentrates on the main concepts and principles of technical graphics and provides users with the information they need most in an easy and straightforward manner. The book is divided into two volumes: Volume I contains Chapters 1 to 5, where as Volume II comprises of Chapters 6 to 10. The chapters and topics are organized in a sequence that makes learning a gradual transition from one level to another. However, each chapter is presented in a self-contained manner and may be studied separately. In each chapter, techniques are presented for implementing the topics treated. Chapter 1 gives the basic information a beginner needs to get started with drafting. Chapter 2 focuses on basic sketching tools and techniques. Chapter 3 discusses computer design drafting (CDD) systems and provides relevant information to make the student an informed user of the systems. Chapter 4 covers shape construction, the foundation of creating drawing views. Chapter 5 presents the principles and techniques for creating standard multiview drawings. Chapter 6 discusses auxiliary view creation, whereas Chapter 7 focuses on section view creation. Basic dimensioning is covered in Chapter 8. Isometric pictorials are presented in Chapter 9. Working drawings are covered in Chapter 10, the heart of drafting, and practical information is provided for creating them. The Appendix provides introductory discussions about screw fasteners, general and geometric tolerancing, and surface quality and symbols.
