In it's fourth edition, Technical Graphics Communication has become a standard in the field of engineering and
technical graphics. This text presents both traditional and modern approaches to technical graphics, providing
engineering and technology students with a strong foundation in standard drafting practices and techniques.Strong
emphasis on design and industrial applications is found throughout, reinforcing the real and practical ways that
technical graphics skills are used in real companies.
