          Methods of Instruction

          • Laboratory
          • Lecture/Discussion
          • Distance Learning

          Lab:

          1. Example
          2. Analyzing Oblique lines. The instructor will prepare and deliver a lecture to clearly explain how to analyze oblique lines. The lecture will be delivered first covering the applications of oblique lines, then explaining the theory of how to analyze oblique lines, and finally the instructor will use CAD software to demonstrate the techniques explained and perform several examples. Students will then be required to complete several assignments where they demonstrate these techniques. Example 2: Students will be assigned readings in the text and attend a lecture given on techniques of creating a solid model given a sketch. During this lecture the instructor will verbally describe the procedure of creating a solid model. While in lab, utilizing their notes, students will use software to create their own solid model given an assigned sketch.

          Lecture:

          1. Lecture: Critical Thinking: Weekly lecture and discussion sessions will present to the students engineering drawing methodology that the student will synthesize and apply to problems assigned weekly in the formulation of solutions utilizing correct engineering drawing techniques. Discussion: The instructor will assign readings from the textbooks and supplemental materials that the students will read in preparation to join in group discussions lead by the instructor during the lecture/discussion sessions and apply to weekly assigned laboratory problems. (Lecture Objective - Pictorial Drawings #1) Scenario of a weekly class session: A. Return of previous weeks graded drawings B. Comments and discussion on graded work C. Lecture and discussion of current weekly topic C
          2. Why this is relevant and where you will see this in engineering and society C
          3. The theory or 'how to do it' of the particular topic (example: orthographic projection) C
          4. Some instructor led examples demonstrating this topic C
          5. Some group work for students to do on the same topic D. Overview of weekly lab assignment (drawings) to be completed by students.

          Distance Learning

          1. Example 1: Students will attend a video lecture given by the instructor on creating technical hand sketch that are scaled isometric representations of actual objects. Students will then also be assigned reading (websites) on the same subject matter. They will then use those techniques to create their own drawing, by hand, which will then be uploaded to the Canvas website for evaluation by the instructor. Example 2: Students will be assigned required reading of a section of a chapter in the textbook in the previous student contact. The instructor will pose a discussion on this topic to which the student must post (to be evaluated). The student will then consume online content created by the instructor on the Canvas website (Pages or Modules) which may include websites/urls, original content generation, YouTube videos, wikis, etc. By the end of the online session, once the student has consumed all content, the student will be asked to expand upon the previous discussion post in order to demonstrate a further understanding. This will also be evaluated.

          Typical Out of Class Assignments

          Reading Assignments

          Required college level readings from chapters in the textbooks assigned weekly. Students are expected to participate in the lecture/discussions based upon these readings. Example 1: Construct a drawing, based upon Chapter 3: Geometric Constructions, demonstrating the weekly-learning objectives. These weekly drawings are either freehand sketches or computer aided design (CAD) generated. The drawings are evaluated for compliance to American National Standards Institute (ANSI)standard. Critical thinking and problem solving are part of these assignments. Example 2: Search the Internet for articles on the development of current ANSI standards.

          Writing, Problem Solving or Performance

          College level problem solving and/or writing assignments are regularly utilized. Problem solving and skill demonstrations are crucial to any successful basic engineering drawing course. Example 1: Calculate appropriate tolerances and allowances from ANSI tables for mating parts in an assembly. Example 2: Solve the problem of the construction of orthographic sketches from a pictorial drawing.

          Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.)

          Create a final project which is a complete set of engineering plans that one can use to build a mechanical assembly. This will include a nice binding, table of contents, assembled view, an exploded view, orthographic drawings of all individual parts, and a parts list.
