  1. Drafting – Product Design & Architecture Introduction - The Graphic Language

  2. Objectives • Outline the procedure for identifying a career for which a student would be suited. • Identify the main stages in develop of a drawing • Identify the main branches of technical drawing • Identify 6 specific functions in each branch of engineering • Prepare the work area for a drawing • Prepare a drawing with borders and title block.

  3. Your Life’s Work. • What are some traits of a career that you would want to do? • Enjoy • Uses your strengths rather weaknesses • Exhibits your interests and abilities • What careers relate to Science & Technology • Science, engineers, designers, drafters, mechanics, technicians, business, teachers, lawyers, and manufacturers

  4. Language of Drawing • Technical Drawings Relate to: • Manufacturing, construction, & electronics • Need Technical Drawing ability: • Read Blue Prints • Written expression understood around the world • Confucius: “1 picture is worth 1000 words.”

  5. Industrial Drafting • Difference between Art & Drafting: • Art represents personal style and how the artists sees an object • A technical person draws an object as true to life a possible. Accuracy is a main objective • Stages of Development • Freehand • Mechanical • Working Drawings

  6. Working Drawings • Complete set of drawings so an object can be built without additional information.

  7. Branches of Technical Drawing • Mechanical Drawing • Used to describe industrial drawings. • Technical Drawing is to include freehand sketching • Architecture Drawing • Machine Drawing • Structural Drawing • Sheet Metal • Electrical • Aeronautical • Marine

  8. Goal of Technical Drawing • First: Accurate • Second: Proper Technique (good workman ship) • Second: Proper Technique • Third: Neat • Fourth: Speed (time is money)

  9. Monuments of History • Ancient Egyptian Pyramids • Greek Parthenon • Geodesic Domes of Buckminster Fuller • NASA’s Space Station • Drafting is an Universal Language • Leonardo da Vinci (1454-1519) • Easy to understand 3D drawings • Industrial Revolution • Drafting is the Language of History

  10. American Know-How • George Washington was a surveyor mapping new territories • Thomas Jefferson prepared house plans for Monticello (home in Virginia)

  11. Technical Drawing Lead to Design: Specific Functions of Engineering • Specific Functions of Engineering • Research • Development Engineering • Design Engineer • Production Engineer • Construction Engineer • Operating Engineer

  12. Technology is Planning Your Future • Designer is key to change

  13. Plans from Joining a Team • Beginning Level Drafter • Drafting – CAD Technician • Design – CAD Technician

  14. Design Team’s Special Skills • Careers • Researcher • Development staff • Project coordinator • Engineer • Illustrator • Designer • Senior Detailer • CAD Technician • Computer Graphic Programmers • Design Drafting Technician • Junior Drafting Technician • Clerical Engineering Staff • Specifications Writers • Contract Specialist

  15. Computer Aided Drafting • Does not help teach the basic principle of drawing

  16. Back to Basics • Understanding traditional drafting before CAD • Pencil Skills • Line Weights • Lettering • Hand Held Tools

  17. Designer Traits • Do you like to take things apart to see how they work? • Do you like to make things with your own hands? • Do you notice the importance of shapes in objects with good design? • Do you ever think that you can improve the design of an object?

  18. Designer Traits • Do you find yourself concerned about other people’s needs? • Do you like to sketch or make drawings? • Do you like to study products that have unusual shapes? • Are you open to new ideas? • Do you like to do research? • Would you like to investigate new ways of working with computer systems?
