Summary:
A new book for a new generation of engineering professionals, 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. With a blend of modern and traditional topics, this text recognizes how computer modeling techniques have changed the engineering design process. From this new perspective, the text is able to focus on the evolved design process, including the critical phases of creative thinking, product ideation, and advanced analysis techniques. Focusing on design and design communication rather than drafting techniques and standards, it goes beyond the "what" to explain the "why" of engineering graphics.

Great book.

D.K. Lieu really knows his stuff. I have the preliminary edition released around two years ago. This updated version should have some stuff on descriptive geometry and 'cut-and-fill': two of the topics I struggled most with when I took the course which used this book. Overall, there are tons of graphics, pictures, and other visual aids in this book in addition to lucid writing. This book is my bible when it comes to engineering convention.
