    Principles and Practices An Integrated Approach to Engineering Graphics and AutoCAD 2019 combines an introduction to AutoCAD 2019 with a comprehensive coverage of engineering graphics principles. By adopting this textbook, you will no longer need to adopt separate CAD and engineering graphics books for your course. Not only will this unified approach give your course a smoother flow, your students will also save money on their textbooks. What's more, the tutorial exercises in this text have been expanded to cover the performance tasks found on the AutoCAD 2019 Certified User Examination.

    The primary goal of Principles and Practices An Integrated Approach to Engineering Graphics and AutoCAD 2019 is to introduce the aspects of engineering graphics with the use of modern Computer Aided Design/Drafting software - AutoCAD 2019. This text is intended to be used as a training guide for students and professionals. The chapters in the text proceed in a pedagogical fashion to guide you from constructing basic shapes to making complete sets of engineering drawings.
