Giving life to an engineer’s dream for the betterment of society involves Design, Drawing and Safety. With
the increasing complexities of economy, as well as the ensuing disruption in IT, besides the stringent safety
rules, this inter-disciplinary subject has become quite challenging to comprehend from exam point of view.
Looking at the nature of Engineering Services Examination (ESE), and the level of questions being asked,
the conventional approach of preparing through theory and examples is not enough to serve the purpose. The
revised and updated edition of General Principles of Design, Drawing and Safety attempts to provide
logical reasoning through mathematical analysis, gives a clear insight into the concepts, and paints a
complete picture in front of you. For students to determine the level of their preparation, self-practice
questions have been provided at the end of this book.
In their endeavour to give students the best, Mr. Bipin Thakur and Mr. Himadri Shekhar (Aahil) have
brought about this book in an easy-to-grasp language that gives in a complete clarity of thought. As a result,
what students get is their collective wisdom that breaks free the constraints of engineering students in
appreciating the basics of Design, Drawing and Safety.
As you flip over the pages of this book, you would come across a slew of diagrams, flow charts, mind maps
and tables. This book is a delight for every ESE aspirant as it communicates, connects, and builds upon
the exam preparedness right up to the standards of the UPSC.
