Features: This book is a research outcome of the "Reform Plan for Teaching Content and Curriculum System in Higher Education Towards the 21st Century" and the "Research Project for Reforming the Teaching Content and Curriculum System in Higher Education of Shaanxi Province" sponsored by the Ministry of Education. It is one of the series textbooks for the 21st-century curriculum and the "National Engineering Mechanical Foundation Teaching Base" of Northwestern Polytechnical University. The book gradually introduces methods of freehand sketching, drafting, and computer drawing as the course content deepens, integrating classic content with modern CG knowledge and training students in all three drawing methods simultaneously. To enhance students' innovative awareness, the book strengthens the introduction of two-dimensional graphic composition and three-dimensional shape construction from different perspectives and levels. To enhance students' engineering awareness, the book also includes the introduction of standard knowledge, introduces simplified representation methods in a substantial section for the first time in the textbook, and introduces CAD drafting rules. In addition to briefly introducing relevant content of AutoCAD, the book also briefly introduces the two-dimensional drawing system "Daxiong Mechanical CAD." In the writing of classic content, set theory symbols are adopted to make the narrative more accurate and concise. The book is divided into 12 chapters, with main content including: Introduction, Basic Knowledge of Drafting, Basic Knowledge of Projection, Projection of Points, Lines, and Planes, Relative Positions of Geometric Elements, Projection Transformation, Curves, Composition and Drawing of Two-Dimensional Graphics, Surfaces, Basic Solids and Their Surface Intersections, Construction and Expression of Three-Dimensional Solids, Axonometric Projection, Methods of Object Representation, Simplified Representation, and Appendix—"Introduction to Daxiong Mechanical CAD." Accompanying this book is the "Fundamentals of Engineering Drawing Exercise Book" (2nd Edition), published simultaneously by Northwestern Polytechnical University Press. This book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate students in mechanical, civil engineering, and other related disciplines, and is also available for reference by relevant engineering technicians.
