Design Modeling with Pro/ENGINEER (Release 2000i)

Rating:
Summary: Good tutorials and problems. The students seem to like it.
Review: I have used this book for 4 semesters to introduce Pro/ENGINEER part models, assemblies, and drawings. Students take the course with wide variety of backgrounds, some are previous users of Pro/ENGINEER, and some have no experience with any CAD program, and most have had some CAD experience. The tutorials are easy to follow, but not overly detailed. The problems presented at the end of each chapter allow the students to get enough practice and apply what the tutorials introduced. The best thing about the book is that the students seem to like it and are able to learn from it.

Summary: Keep it simple....
Review: I'm still waiting for someone to write a book on 3-D modeling that is not cryptic, does not attempt to assume you know the direction the author takes in their instruction and just starts out with the simplest of routines. Guess I'll have to wait a little longer.
