Summary

This book is written in accordance with the "Basic Requirements for Engineering Graphics Courses in Higher Education Institutions" revised in 2019 by the Engineering Graphics Teaching Steering Subcommittee of the Ministry of Education, with reference to similar textbooks at home and abroad and on the basis of summarizing and drawing on years of teaching reform experience. The book consists of 10 chapters, covering basic knowledge of drawing, fundamentals of projection, projection of solids, axonometric projection, views of composite solids, common expression methods for machine parts, standard parts and commonly used parts, part drawings, assembly drawings, and fundamentals of computer drawing. A companion volume, the Engineering Graphics Exercise Book, edited by Song Chunming and Chen Jiefeng, is available for use with this textbook.\nThis book can serve as a textbook for engineering graphics courses for non-mechanical and near-mechanical specialties in higher engineering institutions, and may also be used as a reference for engineering and technical personnel in related fields.

Editor's review

As a classic textbook published by Chongqing University Press, Engineering Graphics (5th Edition) is authored by two senior teachers, Song Chunming and Chen Jiefeng, and serves as core learning material for students and practitioners in mechanical, civil, architectural, and other engineering fields. Having undergone multiple revisions, the 5th edition builds on the clear and rigorous style of previous editions while updating and optimizing content in light of modern engineering practice and digital trends.\n\nFrom a professional perspective, the book's value lies in its systematicity and practicality. It strictly follows the latest national drawing standards, starting from basic geometric elements such as points, lines, and planes, and progressing step by step to composite solids, expression methods for machine parts, standard and commonly used parts, and finally part drawings and assembly drawings. This organizational logic conforms to cognitive principles and helps readers build solid spatial imagination and graphic expression skills. The illustrations are precise and standard, and the examples and exercises are abundant and close to engineering practice, which is crucial for cultivating rigorous engineering thinking.\n\nParticularly commendable is that, beyond traditional descriptive geometry and mechanical drawing, the book timely incorporates basic concepts of computer drawing (such as AutoCAD), reflecting the connection between traditional knowledge and modern technology. Although it does not delve into software operation details, it points readers toward further study. Overall, this is an excellent textbook with authoritative content, complete structure, and clear teaching orientation; its value lies not only in exam preparation but also in laying an irreplaceable solid foundation for future engineering design work.

Who it's for

A good fit for

  • Undergraduate or vocational college students in mechanical, near-mechanical, and related engineering specialties in higher education institutions, especially suitable as the main textbook for Engineering Graphics courses.
  • Young engineers or technical personnel who have just entered the workplace and need to quickly consolidate or consult standard drawing knowledge.
  • Candidates preparing for relevant professional qualification examinations (such as drafter) who need systematic review of basic engineering graphics theory and national standards.
  • Beginners interested in engineering design who wish to self-study and build systematic drawing concepts and spatial thinking skills.

Not a good fit for

  • Readers seeking advanced tutorials on high-level CAD/CAM software, 3D parametric design, or in-depth specialized drawing content for specific industries.
  • Hobbyists interested purely in artistic or visual creative purposes who wish to learn freehand drawing or conceptual sketching.

Reading tips

  1. It is recommended to practice synchronously with drawing tools (such as T-square, compass) or a basic CAD software, closely integrating the book's theoretical knowledge with hands-on practice to deepen understanding.
  2. During study, focus on the provisions of "national standards," such as line types, scales, dimensioning, and drawing methods, as these are the core of engineering drawing standardization.
  3. For parts that are difficult to visualize spatially, try making simple models with clay or cardboard to help construct 3D shapes from 2D views and overcome learning bottlenecks.

FAQ

Is this book suitable for zero-foundation self-study?
As a classic textbook, this book is systematically organized, detailed in explanation, and includes numerous examples, providing a good foundation for self-study. However, engineering graphics has certain requirements for spatial imagination, so self-learners need patience, must complete the exercises after each chapter, and can supplement with online teaching videos or seek guidance when encountering difficulties.
What are the main differences between the 5th edition and older editions?
The 5th edition has been primarily updated according to the latest national technical drawing standards to ensure the standardization and timeliness of the content. At the same time, the structure of some chapters, examples, and exercises may have been optimized, and related concepts of computer drawing have been appropriately introduced to better fit current teaching and engineering environments.
Do I need to purchase the companion exercise book to study this book?
The book itself already contains a considerable number of examples and exercises, which are sufficient for most learners' practice needs. If you have extra capacity or your instructor requires it, consulting or using the official companion exercise book can provide more comprehensive training, but this is not a necessary prerequisite.

About the author

宋春明 Author

Song Chunming is an author about whom limited public information is available. Two works are currently known under his name: the Exercise Book for the Fundamentals of Engineering Graphics and Engineering Drawing (5th Edition). The titles indicate that his writing centers on the teaching of engineering graphics and engineering drawing, covering drawing fundamentals, exercise practice, and textbook compilation, with common categories including examinations and architecture. Books of this kind generally serve course teaching and exam preparation for engineering students at colleges and universities, emphasizing drafting standards, spatial visualization, and practice-based consolidation. The exercise book focuses on coordinated practice, while Engineering Drawing (5th Edition) is presented as a textbook; together they support systematic study of drafting knowledge. Because reliable records of his dates of birth and death, nationality, education, and positions are unavailable, further biographical details cannot be added, and readers may consult the above works to understand his editorial direction.

陈杰峰 Author

Chen Jiefeng: publicly available information about this author is currently limited. Judging from the two works recorded in the database, Fundamentals of Engineering Graphics Exercise Book and Engineering Drawing (5th Edition), Chen's writing centers on engineering graphics and drawing instruction. These two works are respectively a exercise book and a textbook, and their common categories involve examinations and architecture, indicating that the content serves university engineering courses, basic drawing practice, and related exam preparation. Books on engineering drawing focus on standards of graphic expression, principles of projection, and the development of drawing and reading skills, while exercise books consolidate classroom knowledge through practice. Chen Jiefeng's works thus serve the functions of textbook and accompanying training within this teaching chain, suitable for teachers and students in related majors as well as self-learners. Owing to the lack of biographical and academic background information, no further introduction to the author's personal experience can be provided at present.
