Abstract This volume presents graphic communications within the context of engineering design and creativity. With a blend of modern and traditional topics, this text recognizes how computer modeling techniques have changed the engineering design process. From this perspective, the text focuses on the design process, including the critical phases of creative thinking, product ideation, and advanced analysis techniques. This work will help students to be able to translate ideas from design layouts, specifications, rough sketches, and calculations of engineers & architects into working drawings, maps, plans, and illustrations which are used in making products.
