Prerequisites: Pre-Engineering 1 and Grade Level: 9, 10, 11, 12




Description:

Pre Engineering 2 builds upon all skills that were previously established in Pre Engineering 1. Pre Engineering 2 focuses more on the engineering design process and challenges students to create more advanced and complex geometry than in previous classes. Students will be learning how to draw complex 2D geometrics, working drawings based on custom 3D solid models, and real world contextual objects. The content is challenging and will push the students into a more practical and useful environment that will help beyond secondary educational endeavors.


Objectives:


Throughout the semester students will use industry standard software and tools in order to


  1. Open, edit, and save drawing files.
  2. Choose and use the correct CAD commands in order to create, edit, manipulate, and plot line geometry.
  3. Identify equipment used in drafting.
  4. Identify and employ the absolute, relative, and polar point entry system.
  5. Create and revise proper industry standard dimensions.
  6. Understand, maniulate and create 3D drawings and conceptual objects.
  7. Create different views for various 3D objects.
  8. Build spacial reasoning skills.
  9. Create isometric, oblique, and perspective drawings.
  10. Print drawings in the proper scale.
  11. Use equipment to create physical models.


Classroom Expectations:


My expectations will remain high for all of my students. I expect students to respect the classroom and most importantly each other. Every classroom should remain a safe space for all students to thrive and learn in.


  • For full credit, assignments must be turned in by the assigned due date.


  • Late work up to a 1 week will be accepted with a 10% penalty. Beyond that any late work will be accepted and graded up to 50%


  • Students may receive extended due dates if an excused absence occurs.


  • Academic dishonesty will NOT be tolerated. Any instance of cheating including, inappropriate aid, turning in someone else’s work, or copying directly from another student is unnacceptable. Any instance of this will result in a 0% as well as discipline through the dean’s office.


  • All students are encouraged to save assignments to the network drive as well as in a backup location. This may also be cloud based. (Google Drive!!)


  • Cell Phone Policy. Students are expected to have cell phones put away during lecture or group work. However, students are encouraged to use any resource possible during lab hours. Students may use cell phones up to the teacher’s discretion.


  • Food and drinks. Any food or drink should not be in the lab. We use very expensive and delicate equipment. Anything brought into the lab should be left at the student’s desk in the center of the room far away from any machine.


  • Students should be active, respectful, and engaged!


Grading Scale :

(Grades will be figured by the average of all tests, quizzes, projects, and participation)


90% - 100% = A

80% - 89.9% = B

70% - 79.9% = C

60% - 69.9% = D

0% - 59.9% = F


Pre Engineering 2 will expand upon what was learned in Pre Engineering 1 and really challenge students to think outside of the box and utilize their problem solving skills.
