THE FUNDAMENTALS OFENGINEERING DRAWING& GRAPHIC TECHNOLOGY

Abstract

By any known method of appraisal it is evident that the last seven or eight decades have produced more changes, principally scientific, than any other period in history. For example, consider the development of the automobile, the airplane, radio (AM and FM), television, advancements in optics and chemistry, the telephone, audio equipment and techniques, motion picture excellence in both black-and-white and color, new methods of reproduction and copying, the computer, the portable hand calculator, rocketry and space science including human travel to the moon and the recent placing of scientific instruments for measuring physical phenomena on Mars, and also, new procedures in the humanities, ecology, conservation, and many other areas. Engineering drawing and graphic technology is the principal method of communication in engineering and science and, as such, vitally concerns itself with all new developments.
