Engineering Graphics Essentials with AutoCAD 2013 Instruction gives students a basic understanding of how to create and read engineering drawings by presenting principles in a logical and easy to understand manner. It coves the main topics of engineering graphics, including tolerancing and fasteners while also teaching them the fundamentals of AutoCAD 2013. This book features an independent learning CD containing supplemental content to further reinforce these principles. Through its many different exercises this text is designed to encourage students to interact with the instructor during lectures, and it will give students a superior understanding of engineering graphics and AutoCAD.

The enclosed independent learning CD allows the learner to go through the topics of the book independently. The main content of the CD contains pages that summarize the topics covered in the book. Each page has voice over content that simulates a lecture environment. There are also interactive examples that allow the learner to go through the instructor led and in-class student exercises found in the book on their own. Video examples are also included to supplement the learning process.
