Forging new generations of engineers

1. Forging new generations of engineers

2. CEA Presentations

3. Presentations Components: • Plans: • Floor (spatial layout) • Plot (land topography, easements, setbacks, ingress/egress) • Landscape (plant material and watering system location • Foundation • Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC • Truss • Sections and details • Elevations • Renderings of interior & exterior perspectives, elevations, plot, floor plans, sections • 3D models • Budget, projected costs • Specifications Manual • Research citations

4. Plans Purpose: to show the location of all the design features in a design project, done by hand or on computer Includes: drawings, sections, elevations, schedules, details

5. Sections and Details Sections • Drawn to show the vertical relationships of the structural materials called for on the floor, framing, roof, and foundation plans. • Show the methods of construction Details • Type of section • Used to provide information about a small, complicated area of a structure

6. Elevations • Essential part of the design and drafting process • A group of drawings that show the exterior of a building • An orthographic drawing • Shows one side of a building • Exterior shapes and finishes • Vertical relationships of the building levels • Used in conjunction with sections and floor plans

7. Renderings Purpose: to add an element of realism that would not otherwise be there with the use of shades, shadows, and textures Materials used: pencil, ink, water colors, marker, tempera, colored pencil, applique/overlay, and air brush Types: exterior and interior perspective, elevations, plot plan, floor plan, and sections

8. 3D models Purpose: to represent the final design in a physical form that shows it as realistically as possible, computer generated or fabricated Advantage: can be moved around and viewed from any angle; show interior and exterior details; the addition of scaled objects (people, furniture, vehicles) gives visual clues as to the actual size

9. Budget and Projected Costs Purpose: To give the client a realistic estimate on the cost of construction and to follow a plan of expenses to enable the client to stay within his or her expectations.

10. Specifications Purpose: Provides the necessary written information to describe the materials, methods, and fixtures used in the design project.

11. Research Citations • Provide source information of all ideas, concepts, pictures, and other materials that are not created by the team • Use the APA Style of citation • Author name, last name first and first name with initials • Jones, E. A. • Year in parenthesis • (2003). • Title of material, such as book, article, web site, underlined with only first letter of first word in caps, unless it is a proper noun • The beginning of the Americas. • City, State abbreviation followed by colon name of publisher • Clifton Park, NY: Project Lead The Way, Inc.
