Week 10

Monday- Easter Monday

Tuesday- Today we worked on our sectional drawings and I posted it on on my blog and then I started to work on the second one. We also looked at the architectural plans for the school addition.

Wednesday-Today we continued to work on our sectional drawings, adding dimensions and such.

Thursday- Today we finished our last sectional drawing and I put it into a title blog and posted it on my blog.

Friday-

Week 9

Monday- At first aid and CPR training

Tuesday- At first aid and CPR training

Wednesday- Today we worked on our sectional drawings. We had to do the second view and do hidden lines, center lines and dimensions.

Thursday- Today we did a note on sectional drawings and continued to work on them.

Friday- Today we made pancakes and I played around on Envisioneer.

Sectional Engineering Drawing

Introduction to Rhino

Working in the animation program Rhino, learning basic modeling skills.

Week 8

Monday- Today we got a note on engineering and architecture after that was done we went on moodle and made a note on our blog about it.

Tuesday-Today we started working on envisioneer and getting our floor plans done then updated our blogs.

Wednesday- Today we got an introduction to the program Rhino. We watched a tutorial on YouTube on how to use the basic tools. We made a sphere, cube, and prism then posted it on our blogs. We continued to work on our houses in envisioneer.

Thursday- Today we brought up our sectional drawing presentation and got help from Mr.D then we were given 2 sectional drawings to do.

Friday-

Graphic Communication Presentation

Graphic Communication Presentation

Graphics Communication Introduction:

• Engineering drawing is a language used to relate and communicate ideas between professionals and non-professionals if need be.


• Learning the language of technical graphics allows you to visualize problems more clearly and use graphic images to find solutions with more ease.


• Importance of Engineering drawing: Visualization, Communication, & Documentation


• 92% of the design process is graphically based.


• Design: process of conceiving or inventing ideas & communicating those ideas to others.


• It requires input from such areas as customer needs, materials, capital, energy, time requirements, & human knowledge/skills


• Engineers must fulfill two important aspects of design: Aesthetics and Function

Engineering Design ProcessTraditional Engineering Design:

• It is a linear approach divided into a number of steps. It moves through each step in a sequential manner; if problem comes up, the process may return to previous step (called iteration or looping)


• Engineering Design ProcessConcurrent Engineering Design:


• It is a nonlinear team approach to design that brings together the input, processes, & output elements necessary to produce a product.


• The people & processes are brought together at the beginning (not typical in linear)


• Team made up of: design & production engineers, technicians, marketing & finance personnel, planners, & managers.


• Three activities that make up the concurrent design process are: Ideation, Refinement, & Implementation.

Graphics CommunicationWhat you Will Learn:

Visualization: the ability to mentally control visual information Graphics Theory: geometry and projection techniques Standards: sets of rules that govern how parts are made and technical drawings are represented Conventions: commonly accepted practices and methods used for technical drawings Tools: devices used to create engineering drawings and models, including both hand-held and computer tools Applications: the various uses for technical graphics in engineering design, such as mechanical, electrical, and architectural

Graphics CommunicationTerminology: CAD: Computer Aided Design CADD: Computer Aided Design & Drafting CAM: Computer Aided Manufacturing CIM: Computer Integrated ManufacturingCAE: Computer Assisted Engineering CAPP: Computer-Aided Process Planning MRP: Material Requirement Planning EDM: Enterprise Document/Data Management CAE: Computer Assisted Engineering Blue Print Reading: Interpreting drawings made by others

Engineering DrawingsConventions:

• Conventions are commonly accepted practices, rules, or methods (i.e.. hidden lines, dimension lines…


• Most important convention is Alphabet of Lines established by ASME called linestyles


• Line patterns communicate what the line represents in the drawing


• Line patterns tell you information such as whether the line is hidden, visible, or a centerline


• Views should be selected to minimized the use of hidden lines Precedence of lines: Visible à Hidden à Center

Week 7

Monday- Today we worked on the second part of our AutoCAD multiple choice test, I also worked on my logo.

Tuesday- Today I finished my CAD test and finished my logo and posted it to my blogger. We went to an assembly about a cancer benefit going on in our school.

Wednesday- Worked on presentation for sectional drawing and sent my work to taylor and finished watching movie on 911 building design.

Thursday- Continued to work on presentation and understand the concepts more. Updated blogger and got it marked.

Friday- P.A DAY
