S. Chands Engineering Graphics (For Diploma Courses of Maharashtra)

I feel immense pleasure in presenting this new book S. Chand’s Engineering Graphics. This book is desined especially for the Polytechnic Students (Diploma Courses) of Maharashtra and Other Indian States. The object of this book is not only to train the students in such a manner that they acquire good style of draftsmanship but also to give them the basic knowledge of the treatment of simple to complex problems in design and drawing by geometrical methods and to develop in him an orderly imagination so essential to all concerned with practical constructive work.

As this volume is intended to be a class textbook, in the subject, it contains a very large number of worked out problems covering every phase of the subject presented in a simple, understandable and compact form. To be in line with I.S.O., First Angle Proiection has been followed in this book. However, few problems on third angle projection have also been included in it. This book is divided into five sections. Each chapter in each section contains questions for self examination, (objective type questions e.g., fill in the blanks, choose the correct answer, etc.) and problems for practice.
