Engineering Drawing is a common subject offered in all branches of engineering. It helps one to express his or her ideas into reality through drawing. This book helps both faculty and students to understand the concepts on their own. The book presents the concepts through a step-by-step approach, with important points to remember duly highlighted. Various worked-out examples and problems in the exercises are presented under various categories so that the students can attempt any particular type of problem they want to. This third edition includes short answer questions, with answers for each chapter. Some new pictures have been added in each chapter apart from figures for easy understanding of the subject. New figures have also been added at places for a clear imagination of that particular object. Figure quality has also been improved. (jacket)
