Technical Drawing/CAD (SOLIDWORKS)
Flat Layout 2D drawing in Solidworks
Problems 14-19: Choose 2 to draw in SW. Save each asa different part
Flat Layout Advanced 1-2-3: Draw all as separate parts
(40pts) Create a SW Drawing with your 5 parts in Ansi A Lanscape with your name and period in title block on the bottom left (example)
Lesson 1,2, and 3 from the Solidworks tutorials from the Home tab inside Solidworks
(50pts each) ALL SWX Prob - Choose 3 to do as and individual Final. Put into drawing (top, front, side, and isometric views)with your name and period typed in the lower left hand corner. Save as a regular SWX drawing and then a .pdf and hand in the pdf in the student folder -Allison-Intro to Engineering (example1,example2) Please make sure your name and period is in the box in the lower right corner.

to get your design ready to mill, save as a .stl file from Solidworks. Save on the desktop and drag to the Network Student folder
Buoyancy - Exploration
Create a 30 - 90 second video that answers the following question:
“How can we use an understanding of buoyancy and Archimede's Principle to benefit our lives?”
You may work in groups of 2 - 3. This project should be completed by the end of the period on block day.
Investigate - Research some practical applications of the topics we investigated in class. Come up with a scenario!
Plan - Write an answer to the question that demonstrates your learning on the concepts of buoyancy and Archimede's Principle. Consider what images/videos that you might use to illustrate your point.
Create - Assemble your video using iMovie/Windows Movie Maker/Flip and clips and videos. Refer to the rubric for guidance.
Evaluate - Present your video for the class and provide constructive feedback for other groups.
We will be posting on YouTube to share.
