Features: This book is based on the "Basic Requirements for Teaching of Engineering Drawing and Mechanical Drawing" and the experience gained from the teaching reform project "Reform of Teaching Content and Curriculum System for Engineering Drawing and Mechanical Fundamentals Series Courses" implemented in our university in recent years. It is designed to meet the teaching needs of the 21st century and follows the cognitive pattern from three-dimensional solids to two-dimensional graphics. The book integrates computer-aided two-dimensional and three-dimensional design and drawing with classical engineering graphics content. It takes a series of shape design exercises, including the design of plane figures, basic solids, composite bodies, parts, assemblies, and computer-aided shape design, as a main thread, incorporating shape design theory, expression methods, and principles that should generally be followed. When needed, it can also provide electronic textbooks, electronic posters, electronic models, and the proprietary, scientifically efficient teaching aid software—Kaitu CAD2000, which meets the needs of multimedia teaching and is also suitable for traditional teaching methods. This book can serve as a textbook for engineering colleges and universities in mechanical and related fields for the courses of Descriptive Geometry and Mechanical Drawing. It can also be used as a reference for teachers and students of higher vocational colleges, correspondence colleges, and other engineering professionals.
