For one/two-semester, undergraduate courses in Surveying, Site Planning, Civil Drafting, Mapping, and Architectural Drafting and Design. This text provides straightforward and comprehensive coverage of civil drafting technology and mapping. It includes survey types, plots, plan and profile, contours, and earthworks. Input and ideas from the industry, specifically civil engineering companies, offers students a well-rounded view of the civil drafting field and the types of drawings and skills associated with it.
Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing: Principles and Practices provides complete coverage of GD&T practices established in the ASME Y14.5-2018 standard. The text is organized in a logical sequence and covers introductory topics in depth to help ensure a full understanding of basic concepts before building to more advanced applications. Topics covered include general tolerancing practices, geometric tolerancing practices, types of controls applied with geometric tolerances, and calculating and applying tolerances. GD&T topics are explained using standard terminology defined in the ASME Y145-2018 standard. The text is extensively illustrated with detailed examples that enhance learning and provide in-depth analysis. Review questions and print reading problems at the ends of chapters enable students to reinforce learning, apply concepts, and problem-solving skills. This textbook is an approved American Design Drafting Association (ADDA) publication.
This is the eBook of the printed book and may not include any media, website access codes, or print supplements that may come packaged with the bound book. Civil Drafting Technology Seventh Edition covers it all–basic and advanced topics–and everything in between, equipping readers to convert engineering sketches or instructions into actual formal drawings and gain a working knowledge of mapping. Using a “knowledge building” format where one concept is mastered before the next is introduced, Civil Drafting Technology includes: Basic Drafting Topics Maps: fundamentals, types of maps, scales, symbols CADD: use, standards, applications Intermediate/Advanced Topics Measuring distance and elevation, Surveying, Location & Direction, Legal Descriptions and Plot Plans, Contour Lines, Horizontal Alignment Layout, GIS Career Development Schooling, Employment, Workplace Ethics, Professional Organizations CADD Applications Content-related Tests Real-world drafting and design problems
