Regarding the author's attempt to cover the material and meet the author's stated goal of familiarizing first year welding students with how to sketch and read blueprints, the author has succeeded in every way. The book covers all the needed areas (everything from basic blueprint reading to terminologies used in real world applications to interpretation of prints). The text is written in simple language which makes it very easy to understand, particularly for its target audience (first year students that likely have little background or knowledge in this area).
I found no bias built into this book. While I did find that sometimes the terminology was used mixed together, that terminology was still accurate. An example would be words like "drawing" and "blueprint" and how they are used interchangeably in the text but never really stated that they mean the same thing.
I found the content to be extremely relative. In my career, when we hire new people into my department, we have to give them blueprint training so that they will understand how to read and interpret blueprints. This text is far superior and more comprehensive that the training we give them. I am confident that if we gave them this training, we would have better success and the new employees would have far better understanding of blueprints. I found no evidence of outdated material or topics that will be obsolete in the near future.
Yes! As mentioned before, the text is written simply so that it is clear for someone who has not had any training or experience with blueprints. I find this very helpful for students when learning new subjects. If you can keep the text clear and focus on the new terminology they are learning as a part of the book, they will have an easier time understanding the topics covered.
The text is consistent and follows a logical path through learning the basics of blueprints (from introduction of the basics to complex interpretation of them). There are a few cases where terminology is used interchangeably without the author specifically stating that the two terms mean the same thing.
The text includes chapter headings and subheadings which make it easy to see where one section starts and another section ends. One minor issue is that the images do not have figure numbers so they cannot be easily referenced. However, the images tend to be within the body of the text, so the figure numbers would just make it easy when the author wants to reference something you've already reviewed.
This is probably my largest issue with the text. In the PDF version, many of the images are grainy and do not look crisp or clear. This is most likely due to the source of the image being low quality or dpi and the image size being increased within the text. There are also a few blueprints that have details very small and are hard to see even when zoomed in. However, the author does state that the instructor will be handing out a copy of the blueprint and I assume that this would be printed on larger paper (something like 11x17).
I think this book can be used for more than just first year welding students. For anyone interested in learning the basics of blueprints (how to read them, how to identify parts of a blueprint, and how to interpret blueprints), I would highly recommend this book. I can see it being used in manufacturing plants where operators or quality inspectors need a basic understanding of blueprints.
This is an entry level blueprint reading book written for the first year welding student. The book will be used in the first term of a two year welding program to familiarize the student to sketching and reading blueprints.
For over 50 years, Basic Blueprint Reading and Sketching has been an international best-seller, with close to $500,000 in sales and THE definitive resource for blueprint reading. The newly revised 9th edition of Basic Blueprint Reading and Sketching continues the traditions in helping to readers achieve competence in reading and sketching technical drawings. This classic interactive book/workbook will help users develop skills in reading and interpreting industrial drawings and preparing basic to advanced technical sketches.
This book will provide them with basic principles, concepts, ANSI and SI Metric drafting symbols and standards, terminology, manufacturing process notes, and other related technical information contained on a mechanical or CAD drawing. Each unit features a basic principle and at least one blueprint and assignment that encourages students to practice newly learned skills. This edition contains coverage of the latest ANSI, ISO, AWS and ASME standards. Features:
This course provides an introduction to basic Computer Aided Drafting and Design (CADD) functions and techniques, using ?hands-on? applications. Topics include terminology, hardware, basic CADD and operating system functions, file manipulation, and basic CADD software applications in producing softcopy and hardcopy. This is a CORE course.
This course serves as an introduction to the field of drafting and design and provides a foundation for the entire curriculum. Topics include safety, lettering, tools and equipment, geometric constructions, orthographic sketching, and drawing.
This course provides students with basic blueprint reading skills for various applications. Topics include terms, definitions and abbreviations, orthographic projection, dimensions and tolerences, lines and symbols, inductrial application scales, multiview projections, specifications, notes, elevations, sections, details, and schedules. upon completion, students should be able to interpret blueprint drawings in various formats.
This course in materials and processes includes the principles and methodology of material selection, application, and manufacturing processes. Emphasis is directed to solids to include material characteristics, castings, forging, and die assemblies. Upon completion, students should be able to discuss and understand the significance of materials' properties, structure, basic manufacturing processes, and express and interpret material specifications.
This course covers sections, auxiliary views, and basic space geometry. Emphasis will be placed on the theory as well as the mechanics of applying sections, basic dimensioning, auxiliary views, and basic space geometry.
This course in machine drafting and design provides instruction in the largest specialty area of drafting in the United States in terms of scope and job opportunities. Emphasis will be placed on the applications of multi-view drawings, including drawing organization and content, title blocks and parts lists, assembly drawings, detail drawings, dimensioning and application of engineering controls in producing industrial-type working drawings. Upon completion, students should be able to organize, layout, and produce industrial-type working drawings, including the application of title blocks, parts lists, assemblies, details, dimensions, and engineering controls.
This course covers the use of surveying instruments, mathematical calculations and the theory of land surveying. Topics include USGS benchmarks, measuring horizontal and vertical angles and distances, terms, and recording and interpreting field notes. Upon completion, students should be able to recognize benchmarks and measure, specify, and record field notes.
