Learning GoalsLearning GoalsRecognize the three basic styles

of engineering sketches.Understand why a detailed

sketch is a powerful communication tool.

Be able to accurately sketch an object using isometric, orthographic, and oblique design methods.

Why?Why?Troubleshooting:

◦Sketches allow engineers to see each part of a product before a prototype is developed

Communication:◦Sketches reveal details of a product;

size shape, and features, quickly and accurately.

5 Minutes to Prove It!5 Minutes to Prove It!This activity will illustrate how much

better a sketch communicates an idea than a verbal description.1. Draw a large rectangle on your paper.2. Draw 2 smaller rectangles inside the

large rectangle.3. Draw a circle inside one of the small

rectangles.4. Compare your design to your

neighbors.

Page 6: Engineering Sketching Techniques “A picture says a thousand words” Allyson White STEM Lab 2011.

Are all the designs the same? Does your design match mine?

Isometric ProjectionIsometric ProjectionIsometric projections show three

sides of an item in proportional dimensions.◦All vertical lines are vertical◦All horizontal lines are drawn at a

30° angle.

Isometric Projection- Isometric Projection- DimensionsDimensions

Clearly label important dimensions. Label contains numbers onlyUnit of measurement is located bottom of designDo not label more than is necessary to build the item.

Orthographic ProjectionOrthographic ProjectionOrthographic sketches represent

3D items in multiple 2D drawings.Top, front, bottom, and side

views may be used.The general rule is to use only

the views necessary to show the details of the item.

The Glass BoxThe Glass BoxImagining your item in a glass box

is a good way to mentally separate the faces of the item before beginning an orthographic sketch.

The edges of each view line up as though “the box” had been unfolded.

Oblique ProjectionOblique ProjectionOblique projections are

perhaps the simplest of the 3D sketch techniques.

1.Sketch the front of the item.

2.Project lines back from the vertices at 45° angles. These lines are drawn at one-half scale.

3.Connect the lines to form the visible portion of the back of the item.

Computer Aided Design Computer Aided Design (CAD)(CAD)Software

packages range from the simple such as the ModelSmart program we use, Google SketchUp (free to download) to the very complex.

Manual DesignManual DesignThere are many

specialized tools for manually creating technical designs. ◦ 45°/90° triangle◦ 30°/60° triangle◦ Protractor◦ Square◦ Ruler◦ Compass ◦ Specialized grid

paper◦ And many more...

Independent PracticeIndependent PracticeChoose a common object that is easily identified. Create 3 projections of the object.

◦ Isometric◦ Orthographic◦ Oblique

Use the classroom drafting tools.Use the specialized grid paper.

Drafting tools may be signed out during pm homeroom and must be returned during the next morning’s am homeroom

Standards AlignmentStandards AlignmentStandard 11: Students will develop abilities to

apply the design process.◦ [H] Apply a design process to solve problems in and

beyond the laboratory-classroom.

◦ [J] Make two-dimensional and three-dimensional representations of the designed solution.

Standard 17: Students will develop an understanding of and be able to select and use information and communication technologies.◦ [K] The use of symbols, measurements, and drawings promotes

clear communication by providing a common language to express ideas.
