Fundamentals of Computer Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) And Computer Aided Engineering (CAE)

Engineering Drawing is the language for communication between engineers. Using computer, the usage of this language advanced to Computer aided design, Design for assembly, Design for manufacturing, Computer aided quality control etc. Because of this advancement engineering students to study the fundamentals of engineering drawing in their first-year engineering graphics course. This book covers the basics of geometric modelling, ASME standards, solid modelling of real time components, section of machine components, and development of surfaces and isometric projection of solids. Drawings of pictorial views of solids and objects are illustrated in the chapters. Model questions are incorporated at the end of each chapter. This book covers the syllabus of VIT University, Anna University, JNT University, Dr. A.P.J. Abdul kalam Technological University. This book has been written in an easy style and a simple manner so that students can grasp the topics easily. Several worked-out examples are provided along with every chapter and also every chapter includes some exercise and assignments to be practiced by the learners. Suggestions for the improvement of this book are most welcome and would be incorporated in the next edition to make the book more useful.
