About this Book

The fifteenth edition of Giesecke’s Technical Drawing with Engineering Graphics is a comprehensive introduction and detailed reference for creating 3D models and 2D documentation drawings.

Continuing its reputation as a trusted reference, this edition expands on the role that the 3D CAD database plays in design and documentation. It provides excellent integration of its hallmark illustrations with text and contemporary examples, and consistent navigational features make it easy to find important information.

This edition illustrates the application of both 3D and 2D modeling and technical drawing skills to real-world work practice and integrates drawing and CAD skills in a variety of disciplines.

Review Questions

Chapter Exercises The excellent Giesecke problem sets feature updated exercises, including plastic and sheet metal parts, modeling exercises, assembly drawings from CAD models, and sketching problems.

The following features were designed to provide easy navigation and quick reference for students and professionals who look to Giesecke both as a helpfully-organized teaching text and a lasting reference.

Chapter Opener

Chapter one opener with two spreads titled “The worldwide graphic language for design” is shown.

“Spotlight” Sections

These sections add background information for key topics.

“Foundations” Section

This introductory section covers the chapter topic’s usage and importance, visualization tips, and theory related to the drawing and modeling techniques.

Snapshot of an entire page from the book, with the space within the top margin colored in a dark blue and having a note reading: Color at the top of the page makes it easy to flip to the “Foundations” section.

“Detail” Section

This is the “brass tacks” of the book, where detailed techniques, variations, and examples are organized into quick-read sections, numbered for easy reference.

Snapshot of an entire page from the book, containing three sub-topics of a chapter, with their contents. The sub-topics are numbers thus 4.6, 4.7, and 4.8, with a note that points to the first reading: Content is broken into individual, numbered sections.

“Step by Step” Activities

Complicated processes are shown as step-by-step activities with each illustration right next to the text that explains it.

Snapshots of portions of two pages from the book, showing a few complex process split and explained step-wise, with each’s steps corresponding diagram.

“CAD at Work”

CAD at Work sections break out examples related to using the 2D or 3D CAD model to generate drawings.

Snapshot of an entire page from the book, titled CAD at Work, with the space within the top margin colored in light brown.

“Industry Case”

Several industry practitioners share their approaches to modeling and documenting design.

Snapshot of an entire page from the book, titled Industry Case, with the space within the top margin colored in dark brown.

“Portfolio”

These pages offer examples of finished drawings showing real-world application of topics presented.

Solid Model Visualization Art

Illustration of how a solid object is depicted through the three regular views.

Illustrations

Colored callouts differentiate explanatory text from annotations in technical drawings. Consistent use of color helps differentiate the meaning of projection lines, fold lines, and other drawing elements. A color key is provided for easy reference.

Illustration of a cube being projected on a plane before it, wherein the a golden arrow points to the plane representing the viewing direction, the projection lines from the cube to the plane are rendered in blue, and the call out arrows are drawn in red.
