Repeatable No Methods of Instruction Laboratory Lecture/Discussion Distance Learning Lab: The instructor will guide the student through synthesizing and applying the methods to formulate correct profile drawing which students will produce with complete documentation. (Laboratory Objective 8-2) Lecture: Instructor will present to the students, during a weekly lecture/presentation/discussion, advanced engineering design methodology. Students will discuss the methodology and strategize a plan to develop the appropriate profile drawings. (Lecture Objective 8-1) Distance Learning Students in online classes participate, individually and in groups, in discussion boards and respond to weekly assignments via the Learning Management System. The instructor will provide documented material (including videos) explaining or exploring the course content and provide individual feedback on all assignments. The instructor will lecture on measuring distance and evaluation. Students will then utilize instruments used for the measurement of distance and elevation in a specific area. (Laboratory Objective 3-2) Typical Out of Class Assignments Reading Assignments Students read chapters in the textbook on profiles and are expected to participate in the lecture/discussions based upon the reading. Construct a drawing, based upon course readings, demonstrating the weekly-learning objectives. These weekly drawings are either freehand sketches and/or computer-aided design (CAD) generated. The drawings are evaluated for compliance with American National Standards Institute(ANSI)standards. Critical thinking and problem solving are part of these assignments. Writing, Problem Solving or Performance 1. Compare and contrast the difference between an open and closed traverse. 2. Problem solve the construction of 3D solid models and the relationship of geometry for feature definition. Other (Term projects, research papers, portfolios, etc.) 1.
