In Engineering Graphics with AutoCAD 2023, award-winning CAD instructor and author James Bethune teaches technical drawing using AutoCAD 2023 as its drawing instrument. Taking a step-by-step approach, this textbook encourages students to work at their own pace and uses sample problems and illustrations to guide them through the powerful features of this drawing program. More than 680 exercise problems provide instructors with a variety of assignment material and students with an opportunity to develop their creativity and problem-solving capabilities. Effective pedagogy throughout the text helps students learn and retain concepts: * Step-by-step format throughout the text allows students to work directly from the text to the screen and provides an excellent reference during and after the course. * Latest coverage is provided for dynamic blocks, user interface improvements, and productivity enhancements. * Exercises, sample problems, and projects appear in each chapter, providing examples of software capabilities and giving students an opportunity to apply their own knowledge to realistic design situations. * ANSI standards are discussed when appropriate, introducing students to the appropriate techniques and national standards. * Illustrations and sample problems are provided in every chapter, supporting the step-by-step approach by illustrating how to use AutoCAD 2023 and its features to solve various design problems. Engineering Graphics with AutoCAD 2023 will be a valuable resource for every student wanting to learn to create engineering drawings.

For all students and lecturers of basic engineering and technical drawing The new edition of this successful text describes all the geometric instructions and engineering drawing information, which are likely to be needed by anyone preparing or interpreting drawings or designs. There are also plenty of exercises to practise these principles.

This comprehensive professional reference has been fully revised and updated for the second edition. It is both a training tool and text covering all aspects of pipeline pumping and compression system design, configuration, and operation, in addition to the dynamic behavior of all the elements in each system. The authors provide practical solutions for achieving reliable operation of these systems. This book will serve as a useful guide for the design of liquid and gas pipeline transmissions, as well as a guide to various installation options. For practicing engineers in the pipeline and oil & gas industry, specifically those in involved with the design and operation of pumping and compression systems.

The amount of published literature can be overwhelming for scientists and researchers moving from a broad disciplinary research area to a more specialized one, particularly in fields that use information from more than one discipline. Without a focused inquiry, the researcher may find too little information or may be overcome by too much. Striking the correct balance of information is the focus of Literature Search Strategies for Interdisciplinary Research. This useful reference tool studies diverse interdisciplinary areas revealing the general and individual qualities that dictate the strategies of successful searches. Beginning with a bare-bones search strategy for finding primary research in interdisciplinary areas, the book then goes on to provide hints for research in specific disciplines, as the unique traits of the individual fields compound the difficulties in interdisciplinary research. Individual chapters, written by experts in that particular area, address ten research fields in depth, disclosing the common qualities of interdisciplinary research. The study areas covered include Paleontology, Crystallography, Quaternary Research, Human Factors Engineering, Nanotechnology, Atmospheric Chemistry, Bioethics, Computational Biology, Engineering Entrepreneurship, and Machine Learning. For scientists and engineers new to their fields, as well as librarians whose responsibilities include collecting library materials for newly-emerging interdisciplinary research areas, Linda Ackerson's guide provides all that is needed to develop a successful search strategy.

"Introduction to Graphics Communications for Engineers," Third Edition, introduces engineering students to the standard practices used by engineers to communicate graphically. The primary goal of this text is to assist engineering students in learning the techniques and standards of communicating graphically so that design ideas can be clearly communicated and produced. The text concentrates on the concepts and skills needed to sketch and create 2-D and 3-D CAD models.
