My Instructions

Directions for Shape

1. Create a rectangle with its top left point at the origin (0,0) and dimensions 4 inches long by 3 inches high


2. Finish sketch and extrude the shape outward by 1 inch


3. Click bottom view on the little cube thingy in the top right corner and you should see a rectangle


4. Set the fillet tool to a diameter of 0.5 inches and use it to fillet the left and right sides of the rectangle you see


5. Switch to front view from the cube thingy


6. Click and the front face and press “s”


7. Create a rectangle with the rectangle tool starting from point (4, -1) and ending at (0, 0)


8. Click finish sketch and extrude the rectangle 4 inches


9. On the cubey thingy, click top view but rotate the shape using the arrows so that the text “top” on the cube is upside down


10. Click on the face and hit “s”


11. Make a circle with center at point (4,-2) and diameter two


12. Make another circle with center at point (0,2) and diameter two


13. Make a rectangle starting at the top left corner of the original shape ending at the right edge of the first circle you drew; this rectangle should have dimensions 1 inch by 3 inch


14. Make another rectangle starting at the top right corner on the original orange shape and ending at the left edge of the second circle you drew; this rectangle should also have dimensions 1 inch by 3 inch


15. Click finish sketch


16. Now extrude cut both rectangles and both circles that you just drew from the original shape (go all the way through)


17. Switch top view, click the face and press “s”


18. Make a circle at point (2, -5) with diameter 2


19. Click finish sketch


20. Now extrude the circle two inches INTO the shape ( be sure to click the first blue button and the second orange one)


21. Switch to bottom view and click on the face and press “s”


22. create a circle with center (0,0) and diameter of one


23. Finish sketch and extrude cut this circle all the way through the shape


24. Switch to back view, click on the face, and hit “s”


25. Create a circle with center (-2, -2) and diameter 1


26. finish sketch and extrude this shape 2 inches, NOT all the way


27. U R DONE

2.1.6 Conclusion

1. So the other person knows exactly what the shape is and doesn’t make any mistake when recreating it
2. Following a classmates instructions was alot harder because sometimes you need more detail than what was provided, and sometimes you “over-constrain” your sketch by following the directions
3. An object’s mass is how much stuff is in it; its weight is the force of gravity pulling on the mass of the object. On the moon, the mass of an object stays the same but the weight changes.
4. Surface area is the area on the surface of a three-dimensional object

1.3.2 English and Metric Measurements

1.3.2 English and Metric Measurements

1. Why is the metric system used instead of the English system, and vice versa, in various parts of the world?

The Metric system is easier to manipulate because all conversions are based on multiples of ten. The English system is easier to use when there are no measuring tools around because the English system is based on the common lengths of body parts. For example, the yard is based on the average length of a human arm.

2. When you look at a drawing, how do you know if you are looking at inch or millimeter values? Why is it important for an engineer to know this piece of information?

You look at the unit to see if the measurements say inches or mm. It is very important for engineers to know this because mixing up units can result is vastly difference measurements and designs.

3. Why would you have to know how to convert measurements when looking at working drawing?

You have to know the conversion formula between the unit on the drawing and the unit you want to convert it to.

Mutiview Drawings

1. The mutiview sketches can show alot more information and provide the designer oh how to make each side of the object
2. The horizontal or vertical lines line up with those on the adjacent drawings
3. Because the construction lines may cause confusing when describing the object, also there are many
4. The third mutiview sketch draws itself. The center lines separate the different views of a mutiview drawing

Perspective Drawings

1. A Vanishing point is a point where all the “parallel” lines in the drawing headed in that direction seem to converge into the horizon. .

2. The one-point perspective is used when one entire side of an object is facing you; the two point perspective is used when only an edge is facing you. The three point is used when only one corner is facing you and the sides extend into three distinct directions.

Oblique Drawing

1. The computer can get all the angles exactly right and draw much straighter lines

2. Push down with more weight when drawing object lines, while lightly draw the construction lines.

3. Oblique drawings have the front facing directly towards the viewer while isometric is slightly slanted. Also, obliques have a 90 degree angle between the sides, while isometrics draws have about a 120 digress angle

Road Block Drawing

In

In this project, we had around forty minutes of class time to design and build a skyscraper from only a single piece of poster paper. Also, we couldnt use any adhesives and the skyscaper must be able to hold a helicopter pad (a small coin).

The thing I liked about his activity was that it gave us the chance to use the engineering process, first come up with the design and then build. One thing I disliked about this activity is that we only had one class period to build and design the skycraper, which is not nearly enough time to design and brainstorm ideas.

One thing I would do differntly is make the base more stable by putting more weight at the bottom of the tower

We came up with our final design by just trying to make the highest tower, then finding out that it will topple and finally cutting the tower in half so that it wouldnt fall over

One of our biggest design flaws waas that we didnt have a good "lock system" that kepted the two sides of paper poster together

Drawings

1. The difference between a two-dimensional sketch and an isometric drawing is you can see much more information and get a scale of the object with an isometric drawing, while a two-dimensional sketch only gives the information on one side of the object.

2. Designers use shading because it adds depth to the drawing; also it gives information to where the light is coming from and the “reflectiveness” of the object’s surfaces.

3. If you were not given isometric paper, then you could try your best to estimate the angles or maybe use a protractor. Also you could draw two diagonal lines in a “V” shape as reference.

Our new design of the cup mostly centers around the iphone/itouch dock embedded in the cup. Different iOS apps regulate different features of the cup, including the temperature, mini-microwave, and instant coffee maker, with more apps and features coming. Five rechargeable lithium-ion batteries provides the power for the mini-microwave, which both can be used to keep the contents of the cup warm and heat up cold drinks. The solar panel lid can charge up the batteries whenever sunlight is present, otherwise the included wireless charger makes charging the cup both easy and convient without the need of tangled cables. The casing on the cup is made from a special triple layer titanium-alloy that’s light, scratch-proof, microwave safe, and almost impossible to break. The hand grip is tempur-pedic that molds to the shape of the user's hand and serves as an excelent insulator. Finally, the cup can be customized to show your favorite design on the titanium casing, whether it be your favorite althete or singer, or a loved family member.

Reflection: Also, what went well about our project is that once we decided on the overall theme of the cup, everything else kinda fell into place, like the name "iCup." Some things I would have done differently would have been to create a more colorful poster instead of a pencil sketch. I really liked this project because I feel liked it introduced the concept behind engineering, to come up with creative ideas to make something better.
