A thoroughly contemporary approach to teaching essential concepts of solid modeling and engineering documentation has made Fundamentals of Solid Modeling and Graphics Communication the leading textbook in introductory engineering design and graphics courses. This textbookintegrates design concepts and the use of 3D CAD modeling into its outstanding coverage of the basic graphical techniques that enable students to create and communicate ideas effectively.The primary goal of this text is to help the engineering and technology student learn the techniques and standard practices of creating 3D solid models and model-based information, so that design ideas can be adequately communicated and produced.

Mentoring African American Males provides important black male research and student performance data to guide the efforts of those who accept the enormous task of standing in the gap to increase black male achievement. Dr. Ross provides guidance for individuals and institutions embracing the important role of developing mentoring programs or serving as a mentor to youth. However, what makes Dr. Ross’ work such a critically important book for any individual or institution considering such a role is its insight into the social-cultural framework within which mentoring must occur at every level from elementary school through college. Equally insightful is the structure that such programs must take in response to the socio-cultural constructs of the families, communities, and institutions where they will occur.There are far more quantitative studies than qualitative on the topic of mentoring. This text addresses that discrepancy and provides the results of several qualitative studies on African American males. There is hardly any that offer a mixed method perspective that combine quantitative and qualitative methodological approaches. This text reports on the research results that are qualitative in nature in addition to some that are from a quantitative and mixed method approach.

There is no one method for doing culturally alert counseling. Instead, culturally alert counseling consists of intentionally adapting existing ways to help clients (1) understand their socially constructed worldviews through culture, (2) appreciate their various cultures, (3) to make choices about adherence to cultural norms, and (4) to recognize and respond to external bias relating to their cultural group membership.The book uses culturally alert counseling to address the unique challenges faced by African American males. It helps them understand their socially constructed worldviews, appreciate their cultural heritage, make informed choices about cultural norms, and recognize and respond to external biases.
