About your course materials

"Print Reading for Welders," 10th Edition, is a clear, practice-oriented guide that helps students and trainees master the interpretation of sketches, prints and engineering drawings used throughout the metalworking industry. Building foundational sketching skills before progressing to orthographic projection, pictorial views and detailed instruction on AWS welding symbols gives learners confidence in reading and producing mechanical drawings. Improved artwork, updated terminology aligned with current AWS standards and refined content and review activities enhance clarity and comprehension. A robust instructor resource package features manuals, answer guides, presentations, a Cognero® test bank and printable handouts. Continuing its long-standing reputation, this edition provides one of the most comprehensive treatments of AWS, ISO and pipe welding symbols available today.

Frequently asked questions

How do I enroll in or join my course?

Your instructor will tell you how to access your course. You may join through your school’s LMS, a course link or a course key. If you’re unsure which method to use, check with your instructor.

How do I redeem an access code, or what if my code isn't working?

Sign in to your Cengage account and select Enter Access Code or Course Key, then enter your access code and select Register. If your code is damaged, missing or still doesn't work, contact Cengage Support.

Why can't I access my course?

How you access your course depends on how your instructor set it up. Start from your LMS, course link or course key. If you've purchased access but still can't open the course, Cengage Help can help you troubleshoot your access.

Where can I find my eBook or textbook?

You can access available eBooks from your Cengage student dashboard or from your Cengage course. If your class uses an LMS, your instructor may also provide access there.

What if I don't have access to my course materials yet?

Temporary access may be available for some Cengage courses. If offered, you can use your course during the grace period and purchase or register your access code before it ends. Options for expired access vary by product.
