Technical Drawing with Engineering Graphics

Technical Drawing with Engineering Graphics, 16th Edition, by Frederick E. Giesecke, Shawna Lockhart, Marla Goodman, and Cindy M. Johnson, is an essential engineering graphics textbook designed to develop spatial visualization, technical sketching, and standardized drafting skills. The work guides readers through foundational drawing principles, including conceptual sketching, orthographic projection, and 2D documentation drawings used throughout engineering and design disciplines.

The textbook connects 3D CAD modeling concepts directly to industrial production standards. Updated content incorporates revised ASME standards, emphasizing geometric dimensioning and tolerancing as well as surface finish symbology. Additional updates explore practical modern manufacturing workflows, including rapid prototyping, direct printing, and current CAD software applications.

Revised problem sets offer practice generating detailed technical drawings and assembly views from solid models. Published by Peachpit Press, this text supports students, engineers, architects, drafters, designers, and technicians working across academic programs and professional graphic design and technical drafting environments.
