 Preface

This workbook has evolved from the author’s previous published

book entitle “Fundamental of Engineering Drawing: A workbook”. In this
revised edition, new problems are added, regrouped by concepts and
rearrange in the order of their difficulties.
Students can do practice with traditional drawing tools (T-square,
triangle, compass etc.), freehand sketch, or a computer-aided-drafting
software. For the first case, some problems can be done inside the
workbook, but some of them have to be done on a separated sheet or in
computer software environment. For the second case, a space with a
rectangular or an isometric grid is provided to help students in tracing a
line or curve.
The author hopes that this workbook will help the students improve
their skills in creating and interpreting an engineering drawing.
