Civil Engineering and Architecture Period 1 Thursday October 29, 2015 Lesson

Good Morning!

Please get the following materials for this activity:

1. A nice sharp pencil ( Please return if you are using a class pencil)
2. 4 or 5 sheets of white paper ( not grids!)
3. A black pen ( optional)

Instructions: The link below will take you to a power point of ten images of architecture. You are to create super fast ( this type of sketching is called Rapid VIZ) three dimensional sketches of these structures. A suggestion would be to use your watch or phone to time yourself. Spend no more than 4 minutes per sketch! GO FAST!!!! Some of your sketches you will HATE but don't throw them out! I guarantee that at least one or two or even more of your sketches you will actually be very proud of...just remember to go fast and get all ten completed in this class period.

Instructions for Your lessons on Thursday October 8, 2015

STUDENTS! Complete this work for class today!!!
It will be checked on Friday. If you do Zero work, then expect a Zero grade!!

Period 1: Civil Engineering and Architecture:

Please get some sketching paper , pencils, and rulers, and complete sketches of your model project showing the sizes of the walls, perimeter and height of walls. Each student must complete at least one sketch. Sketches can be of different house or building structures if you still have not decided on what you are building.

If you get done early, then use color pencils to make your sketches more attractive. Search these terms for ideas: Architectural Rendering  and Thumb nail sketches

I will check your sketches for quality and effort!

Period 3: Introduction to Engineering Design

Continue to complete your isometric sketches found at: www.nottinghamtechnology2.blogspot.com. ( you can see these just below this post). Make sure you shade and label each sketch. If you are finished, then conduct a web search for: ISOMETRIC SKETCHES and choose three problems from the web to sketch. I will really appreciate any extra sketches with extra points added to your Unit 1 Test grade. ( 3 points added for every extra sketch you do!!!). Don't RELAX!!! Work hard and get rewarded!!

Period 5/6: Residential structures

Create a 10 slide power point of different Wood Work Projects that you find interesting and would like to make. Each slide should have one idea that includes the image that you found on the internet, the web address where you found it, and a label that explains what it is. Below is an example: Ideas should be projects that you think that you can make as a beginner in wood working!! If you cant see how it goes together, then you probably should not choose the idea.

1.     This article explains that the current understanding of black holes and wormholes are that they would be to unstable to allow space travel through them but they theoretically do create “shortcut” through space.
