An Introduction to Visualization, Modeling, and Graphics for Engineering Design

"The ability to think of systems that never were and to design devices to meet the changing needs of the human population is the purview of the engineering professional. Visualization, Modeling, and Graphics for Engineering Design was written from the ground up to take a brand-new approach to graphic communication within the context of engineering design and creativity." (from the Preface)
