Interpreting Engineering Drawings

The 6th Canadian edition of Jensen’s Interpreting Engineering Drawings is aimed at students in mechanical apprenticeship programs, including Machinists, Tool and Die Makers, and Industrial Millwrights – who need to understand the basic – and more complex – concepts involved in technical drawings and the communication of technical information. Jensen is the only blueprint reading text on the market designed to provide customized drawing interpretation courses for each and every student. Designed to contain far more information than is normally required for any traditional program, this text provides the instructor with the opportunity of selecting units of instruction that would best suit the needs of the students in that particular area or industry. It provides the theory and practical application for individuals to develop the intellectual skills needed to communicate technical concepts used throughout the international marketplace. The first chapters cover the core concepts of blueprint reading from orthographic views to section views. The second and third sections include topics of different fields of mechanical drafting such as structural steel, welding, piping, and GDT. Jensen is the only text on the market that follows CSA standards.
