Preface
The compilation of this book General Principles of Design,
Drawing and Importance of Safety was motivated by
the desire to provide a concise book which can benefit
students to understand the concepts of Design, Drawing
and Safety aspects in Engineering.

This textbook General Principles of Design, Drawing and

Importance of Safety provides all the requirements of
the students, i.e. comprehensive coverage of theory,
fundamental concepts and objective type questions articulated in a lucid language. The concise
presentation will help the readers grasp the theory of this subject with clarity and apply them
with ease to solve objective questions quickly. This book not only covers the syllabus of ESE but
also addresses the need of many other competitive examinations. Topics like Design for Quality,
Quality Function Deployment (QFD), Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA), Six Sigma, Orthographic
Projections, Safety Management System, Occupational Health and Industrial Hygiene and Safety in
Engineering Industry are given full emphasis keeping in mind of our research on their importance
in competitive examinations.

We have put in our sincere efforts to present detailed theory and MCQs without compromising the
accuracy of answers. For the interest of the readers, some notes, do you know and interesting facts
are given in the comprehensive manner. At the end of each chapter, sets of practice question are
given with their keys, that will allow the readers to evaluate their understanding of the topics and
sharper their question solving skills.

Our team has made their best efforts to remove all possible errors of any kind. Nonetheless, we would
highly appreciate and acknowledge if you find and share with us any printing and conceptual errors.

It is impossible to thank all the individuals who helped us, but we would like to sincerely thank all
the authors, editors and reviewers for putting in their efforts to publish this book.

With Best Wishes
