Features: This book is based on the "Basic Requirements for Teaching of Descriptive Geometry and Civil Engineering Drawing Courses for Undergraduate Engineering Programs in Higher Education" issued in 1995, summarizing the experience of recent years' teaching reform. The authors strive to break the traditional model of drafting textbooks, organically integrating descriptive geometry and projection drawing, and adding some content to broaden students' knowledge. The main contents of this book include: the theoretical foundation of orthogonal projection, basic knowledge of configuration design, three-dimensional graphical methods, two-dimensional graphical methods, commonly used curved surfaces in architectural engineering, and contour projection, etc. This book can be used as a textbook for undergraduate and junior college civil engineering and related drawing courses in higher education institutions, or as a reference book for other disciplines. Additionally, a companion exercise book titled "Composition and Expression of Solids" is also published to accompany this book for readers' use.
