Engineering Design and Graphics with Solidworks 2023

In Engineering Design and Graphics with SolidWorks, award-winning CAD instructor and author James Bethune shows students how to use SolidWorks to create engineering drawings and designs. Nathan Brown, a fellow CAD instructor, has updated Dr. Bethune's textbook using the latest software.

The textbook focuses on the creation of engineering drawings, including dimensions and tolerances and the use of standard parts and tools. Each chapter contains step-by-step sample problems that show students how to apply the concepts presented in the chapter.

Effective pedagogy throughout the text helps students learn and retain concepts:

• OBJECTIVES: Each chapter begins with objectives and an introduction to the material.
• SUMMARIES: Each chapter concludes with a summary and exercise problems.
• NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS: The multitude of illustrations, accompanied by explanatory captions, present a visual approach to learning. Students see in the text what they see on the screen with the addition of explanatory text.
• PRACTICAL APPLICATION: The text provides hundreds of exercise projects of varying difficulty (far more than any other computer graphics text). These exercises reinforce each chapter's content and help students learn by doing.
• FLEXIBILITY: With the hundreds of problems presented in the book, instructors can assign different problems within the same class and from year to year without repeating problems for students.
• MEETS STANDARDS: The text teaches ANSI standards for dimensions and tolerances. This helps students understand how their designs are defined for production and the importance of proper tolerancing.
• STEP-BY-STEP APPROACH: In presenting the fundamentals of engineering drawing using SolidWorks, the text uses a step-by-step approach that allows students to work and learn at their own pace.
• CSWA EXAM PREP: This edition includes sample problems to help students prepare for the CSWA Exam.

在《Engineering Design and Graphics with SolidWorks》這本書中，屢獲殊榮的CAD教師和作者James Bethune向學生展示如何使用SolidWorks來創建工程圖紙和設計。同樣是CAD教師的Nathan Brown使用最新的軟體更新了Bethune博士的教科書。

這本教科書專注於創建工程圖紙，包括尺寸和公差的使用以及標準零件和工具的使用。每個章節都包含了逐步解題的示例問題，向學生展示如何應用該章節中介紹的概念。

教科書中的有效教學方法有助於學生學習和記憶概念：

- 目標：每個章節開始時都會列出目標並介紹相關內容。
- 摘要：每個章節結束時都會有一個摘要和練習問題。
- 大量插圖：大量的插圖配有解說文字，以視覺化的方式進行學習。學生可以在書中看到屏幕上的內容，並有解說文字進一步說明。
- 實際應用：教科書提供了數百個難度不同的練習項目（比其他電腦圖形教科書更多）。這些練習項目強化了每個章節的內容，幫助學生通過實際操作學習。
- 靈活性：由於書中提供了數百個問題，教師可以在同一班級和年度中分配不同的問題，而不必重複給學生相同的問題。
- 符合標準：教科書教授了ANSI的尺寸和公差標準。這有助於學生理解他們的設計如何為生產定義，以及正確公差的重要性。
- 逐步方法：在使用SolidWorks介紹工程繪圖基礎知識時，教科書使用了逐步方法，讓學生可以按照自己的節奏工作和學習。
- CSWA考試準備：本版教科書包含了一些示例問題，以幫助學生準備CSWA考試。
