  Blueprint symbols and specs are like a secret code. Use this straightforward CD-ROM to show your students how to decipher it. Blueprint Fundamentals starts off with the basics—how blueprints are made and used and general elements like scales, views, lines, and dimensions—to lay a solid foundation of technical information. After that, learners are introduced to the details of specialized construction, manufacturing, and machining drawings. Each topic is reinforced with practical exercises and activities. In addition, animated segments showing how flat drawings turn into 3-D buildings and products will help students develop the ability to visualize finished products while they’re still on the drawing board. A feedback-giving multiple-choice quiz, an interactive index, and a glossary are included. And for learners who want to put their knowledge of blueprints to work, career opportunities are described for architects, building contractors, electricians, plumbers, manufacturers, and machinists.
