Engineering Graphics Essentials gives students a basic understanding of how to create and read engineering drawings by presenting principles in a logical and easy to understand manner. It covers the main topics of engineering graphics, including tolerancing and fasteners. This textbook also includes independent learning material containing supplemental content to further reinforce these principles. This textbook makes use of a large variety of exercise types that are designed to give students a superior understanding of engineering graphics and encourages greater interaction during lectures.

The independent learning material allows students to explore the topics in the book on their own and at their own pace. The main content of the independent learning material contains pages that summarize the topics covered in the book. Each page has audio recordings that simulate a lecture environment.
