Activity 1.3 Concept Sketching

 Sketching



Conclusion
1.      Explain the concept of proportion.  How does the concept of proportion relate to creating a realistic sketch?
Proportions ensure that the sketches drawn are to scale in accordance with the contents and parts of it. This will further prevent any distortions in the sketching.

2.      Why would the ability to create realistic sketches make a person a more competent designer?
Realistic sketches allows the designers to express the idea they wish to get across. Moreover the product ends up in the way the designer intends to do so.

3.      Give an example of a visual or graphic representation of information that has more impact than an explanation of the information in text.
In Biology class when trying to learn muscles and bones in the human body, a graphic representation of the information is more impactful than explanation in text. Rather than describing the muscles location in the human body and distance in relation to each other, the visual representation if better.

4.      In your opinion, what is the most important thing to know/do in order to create a realistic sketch of an object?
In my opinion, the most important thing in order to get  a realistic sketch is to be able to execute the contour line of an object. This allows the object to look with similar outline, as well as details being added at right place.

Activity 5.5a CAD Model Features Part 1 Conclusion 1.          What 3D CAD functions could be used to create a wire coat hanger? We can use sweep after drawing line and circle for thickness of wire on a plane starting. 2.          For each of the following, sketch a 2D shape and an axis of rotation that you could use to model each of the following solid forms using the Revolve function within 3D modeling software. Dimension each sketch and indicate the axis of rotation that you would use. You may use software to check your answers. a.          A solid cylinder with a diameter of 3.5 in. and a height of 7 in. Be sure to dimension the shape. Dotted line is axis of rotation. b.          A solid sphere using the Revolve function. What rotation angle would you use? ...

Activity 3.1b Linear Measurement with US Customary Units Procedure Conclusion 1.                   When you look at a drawing, how do you know if you are looking at U S Customary or SI measurements? Why is it important for an engineer to know this piece of information? US customary system has fractions. Moreover SI measurements are only in power of tens while US customary system is not. Engineers need to know this information or else they will end with the wrong measurements, which leads to  too little or too large designs.
