Lessons for Monday October 28, 2013


Good morning:

Please find your class below and read your instructions for today's work:

 

Period 1 and 3:

Civil Engineering and Architecture:

Continue to work on your Architecture model projects. Here are some suggestions on what you can do:

 

1.    Sketch out what each wall of your model will look like and give it dimensions.

2.    Make a schedule of work.

a.    How long will it take to cut out your walls from cardboard or foam core?

b.    How long will it take to glue your pieces together?

3.    Create more sketches of your design. Think about the different sides of your project. What will it look like from the back or from the left or right side?

4.    Please be ready on Tuesday to show me what you accomplished

5.    Good Luck!!

Period 2:

Principles of Engineering:

Please go to Khan Academy and view the following video’s on Mechanical advantage:

Mechanical advantage Part 1

Mechanical advantage Part2

Mechanical advantage Part 3

Here is the link:


 

Please go over the work that we did on Friday. Tomorrow there will be a Test on calculating the MA of Gears, Levers, and Pulley’s. Here are some suggestions on what you can do:

1.    Search Mechanical advantage lessons on the web. See if you can find another site besides Khan that can teach you about mechanical advantage. Write down the site and I will give you extra credit on the test if you list this site on the exam tomorrow

2.    Type in “Mechanical advantage of gears” problems in a search engine. Are there examples that you can practice for? Try the MA of Pulleys and the MA of levers. What did you find

Good Luck!!!

When you are done with these links, then begin to create a 2 point perspective of your chosen model or architectural style.

Here is a very nice 2 point perspective from the web. According to the owner, this was done as a drawing assignment for an architecture class:

This 2 point perspective was done by a Nottingham architecture student in 2007. He is now a business student in England:

This 2 point perspective was done by Rakiem Dayes, a NHS graduate:

This link will take you to a 2007 blog post. It has a few examples of two point perspective:

IED Project for October



IED Wednesday October 2, 2013
Design Project: 
 Drawing equipment Organization for GW3
The Problem:  
 The work table in GW3 has multiple uses. When projects are being built, there are wooden boxes that can hold the tools so that the work space is not cluttered. When design work is being done, however, like coloring with markers or color pencils or sketching with pencils and erasers, there is no organizational aid.
Design Statement: 
Design and construct a system of organizing drawing equipment for the work tables in gw3
Constraints:
1.     It must hold 20 pencils upright
2.    It must hold 12 markers upright
3.    It must have corners that are 90 degree angles only
4.    It must be made using butt joints and lap joints
5.    It must be made of the following materials:
·         Foam core
·         Luan plywood
·         Hot glue and/or construction adhesive
·         Cardboard
6.    The design should follow the principles and elements of good design
7.    It must be built to last all this year
8.    The “foot print” of the design should not exceed 6” x 6”
9.    It must be completed by the end of October

Lessons for Periods 1, 2, and 3 on Wednesday October 2, 2013

Periods 1 and 3: Civil Engineering and Architecture (CEA)

Please continue to improve and/or complete your Styles of Architecture  power point presentations
Use your activity sheets found in your portfolio's to make sure you have met all the information requirements for your presentation. We will present on Thursday and Friday of this week. Because you are being given extra time, the expectation of a good presentation is VERY HIGH!!

Period 2: Principles of Engineering (POE)

Please Complete your sketches of your Gear systems. Label the following parts: Driver gear, Driven gear, and Idler gears, Axle, Support structure
Measure each gear by counting the teeth on the gear. Use an arrow to point to each gear and write how many teeth it has.

Here is a good site to see diagrams of gear systems:
