Description
For courses in Engineering Design and Computations, Introduction to Civil Engineering, and AutoCAD Civil 3D.
Unique in approach, AutoCAD Civil 3D offers an innovative blend of core civil engineering concepts and thorough AutoCAD Civil 3D instruction. It moves beyond a how-to manual, to explain why the software produces specific results and how it can be used to solve specific civil engineering problems. Flexible in design, the book begins with an overview of the software and its interface, introduces a comprehensive design project and then covers advanced usage of each of the software’s capabilities. Ideal for both lecture and lab, the text uses screen shots, dialogue boxes, CAD images, and digital AutoCAD files to introduce the procedures and applications of AutoCAD Civil 3D.

Hallmark Features
Uses a two-part chapter format—which teaches engineering theories and computational methods first and Civil 3D software applications, usage and capabilities next.
- Emphasizes appropriate theories, formulas, algorithms and computational methods in the first half of each chapter.
- Discusses how to use the software to solve specific civil engineering problems in the second half of each chapter.
Focuses on why the software produces specific results first—distinguishing this text from all competitors.
- Emphasizes civil engineering concepts within the context of the Autodesk Civil 3D software.
- Helps users understand the formula behind the automation, giving them a depth of knowledge that makes them more efficient and effective on the job.
Focuses on how to use the Civil 3D software next—to solve specific exercises, applications and case studies.
- Shows how to use the software and the specific features and commands of the program.
- Shows how to maximize the software’s capabilities to solve specific civil engineering problems.
Begins with an introductory Civil 3D design project—in Chapter 2.
