COURSE DESCRIPTION:  

Engineering drawing is a Computer Aided Drawing and Design (CAD) course designed to provide beginning students with instruction in computer graphic skills and design fundamentals. Students will learn the use of a CAD system for two-dimensional drawing and three-dimensional modeling. Through the use of the Internet students will explore the wide range of CAD technologies and applications. This course is strongly recommended for students aspiring to become engineers, architects, and engineer technicians. This course is part of the School-to-Work transition guidelines.

The applied architectural design course is designed as a capstone project. Emphasis is placed on applying life and educational experiences to architectural design. The team approach to problem solving is emphasized.  The content includes, but is not limited to, determining purposes, uses, and aesthetics of structures, the analysis of various architectural designs, apply principles of environmental and energy efficient design, and use current construction materials and practices. Students will prepare and present multimedia presentations using a variety of software and technologies. This is a real or simulated design project meeting the needs of actual clients. This course is the culmination of the Architectural, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) curriculum and is intended as an opportunity for students to utilize all the skills acquired through the AEC strand of courses. This course is recommended for aspiring architects, designers, engineers, CAD technicians, and interior decorators.

 

COURSE GOALS/OBJECTIVES/STANDARDS:

The students will work in design teams on a realistic architectural design project. A variety of computer software programs will be used in developing a presentation of final project solutions.  Students will be required to plan, design, and produce a project. They will develop solutions to problem solving activities, communicate ideas and information orally and in writing, investigate content-related occupations, and assume leadership roles and work cooperatively. The final project will be presented to a review panel for evaluation. Students will use the Internet as one of many tools in researching their project designs. Students will have the opportunity to interact with designers through a mentoring program.

The content for Engineering drawing includes, but is not limited to, orthographic projections, pictorial drawings, working drawings for construction and manufacturing, graphical solutions, measurements in both metric and customary systems. Instructional activities are provided in the pre-engineering laboratory, using hands-on experiences with equipment and materials related to course content. Students will be required to plan and produce projects. They will develop solutions to problem solving activities, present ideas and information orally and in writing. Students will investigate content-related occupations, make visits to industries, assume leadership roles and work cooperatively.

 

SKILLS

Applied architectural design students will be evaluated based upon the quality of their design work and performance. Projects will be analyzed and evaluated for meeting the essential objectives, creativity, and presentation quality.  In addition, the students will be evaluated on their ability to cooperatively work together and solve problems.

Engineering drawing course work completed will be analyzed and evaluated for accuracy and use of drawing concepts. Written and oral reports will be graded for content and form. In addition, the students will be evaluated on their ability to cooperatively work together and solve problems.

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

·         ·         Cooperatively work as a member of a design team.

·         ·         Demonstrate the use of CAD to model structures.

·         ·         Analyze data in terms of conditions or laws that affect design.

·         ·         Integrate zoning standards and architectural principles to generate a structural      design.

·         ·          Use current environmental considerations in designing a structure.

·         ·         Apply energy efficient design concepts to the capstone project.

·         ·         Develop and participate in the presentation of design projects.

·         ·         Perform measurements in both the metric and U.S. customary systems.

·         ·         Apply modeling techniques from the design analysis.

·         ·         Maintain a technical journal recording the engineering process.

Upon completion of the course, students will be able to:

§         §            Recognize the evolutionary development of engineering drawing.

§         §           Develop 2 dimensional drawings.

§         §          Generate pictorial drawings.

§         §          Create working drawings for construction and manufacturing.

§         §         Create 3 dimensional models.

§         §           Measure and dimension both metric and customary drawings.

§         §          Use proper work environment practices.

§         §           Integrate math and scientific principles to solve problems.

§         §          Demonstrate the proper use of computers and peripheral equipment.

§         §          Demonstrate the use of graphic conventions to represent objects and structures.

§         §          Apply modeling techniques for analyzing a product.

§         §          Identify wide ranges of CAD applications.

 

AFNORTH International Middle/High School’s Continuous School Progress goal is:

   “All students will improve their written communication skills across the curriculum.” 

The 6 + 1 Trait model is the model selected to improve school-wide writing in all subject areas.  The 6 + 1 Trait writing framework is a powerful way to learn and use a common language to refer to characteristics of writing as well as establish a common vision of what “strong” writing looks like.  Teachers and students will use the 6 + 1 Trait model to identify areas of strength and weakness as they continue to strive towards continued writing improvement.  Success of all students requires that the 6 + 1 Trait become a consistent and integral component of each course taught at AFNORTH International Middle/High School.

 

In industrial productions, students will be asked to write in their production safety journals and document procedures using technical writing format.  The 6 + 1 trait characteristics and rubric will be introduced and used as the standard for the Standard Safety Procedures and project reports.  The students will be required to utilize all qualities of the rubric in their project reports.
