widely used CAD/CAM software programs in the world today. Any aspiring engineer will benefit from the knowledge contained herein, while in school or upon graduation as a newly employed engineer. The text involves creating a new part, an assembly, or a drawing, using a set of Pro/E commands that walk you through the process systematically. Projects are not included in the text to keep the length and cost to the user down. For instructors and students wanting more material, compressive supplemental material can be downloaded at www.cad-resources.com. Also see the CDI70 and CDI71 links. Textbook Pro/E files are available from the author for instructors (not individuals) who adopt this text. The Pro/E files will open only on Academic and Commercial versions (not Student Edition or Tryout Edition) of Pro/ENGINEER software. Please contact us from your academic email account. Schools Edition of Pro/ENGINEER Wildfire 5.0 is available free at: www.ptc.com. A complete Lecture series for this book is available at http://www.cad-resources.com/. Click on the book that you have and navigate to the Video Lectures link. Lectures are in WMV format and run between 25 and 60 minutes for each lesson.

Om Mani Padme Hum Acknowledgments I want to thank the following people and organizations for the support and materials granted the author: Ken Louie- Part-time instructor, Pro/ENGINEER at De Anza College Max Gilliland- is the instructional associate for CAD at De Anza College has been essential to the CAD program. Besides assisting in the classroom, he maintains the software and hardware for the program and in my home office. Donations and Scholarships for Veterans (SFV) A portion of this text’s profits go to my tax deductable scholarship fund at Foothill-De Anza Community College District (FHDA Foundation). Ten scholarships have been awarded in the last six years. Your contributions provide extra scholarships as funds are available. SFV provides funding for a 2-year AS, or AA degree, which covers tuition and fees (or applied to expenses) for 90-quarter or 60-semester units up. Scholarships are available to any qualified veteran of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or Coast Guard. Scholarships are administered by the local college foundations. No administration fees are taken by Scholarships for Veterans. Committee members of Scholarships for Veterans make final selections. All costs associated with Scholarships for Veterans are borne by Lamit and Associates and CADResources.com. For more information, see Scholarships for Veterans at www.scholarshipsforveterans.org. x
