Question

PROJECT: CREATING A TECHNICAL SKETCH OF AN EVERYDAY OBJECT TO SCALE
Assignment Directions
Engineers rely on technical sketches to provide a visual representation of their design solutions. When engineers utilize dimensions, they provide enough information to allow a reader to recreate the design precisely and accurate. Many designs are too large or too small to be captured on paper according to their real size, so engineers use the technique of drawing to scale to provide the ratio that was used to create the sketch. Take a moment to find a large building, bridge, or other structure that can be drawn to scale through sketching. The exact real-world dimensions may not be available, so you will create a list of the measurements you will use for the ratio. For example, it might be difficult to obtain the exact height of a bridge, so you may estimate the height, list it as a measurement on your report, and use the value for the scale ratio.

You may use graph or grid paper to help track the dimensions of your scale drawing. Additionally, straight-edge implements like a ruler or protractor will help you create the lines for your drawing. If your object has curved areas, you may use a compass to create those to scale, but be sure to add the center lines! You’ll have to scan your drawing and turn it into a document you can upload to submit to your instructor.

Here are some good examples of scale drawings created by engineers and architects:

The Apollo Spacecraft drawing uses a scale, which means for every on the drawing the real-life object is 1 foot long.

This building is drawn to a scale, which means for every on the drawing the real-life object is 1 foot long.

Assignment Guidelines
Each presentation must include:

a list of your measurements with their proportional scale measurements
the completed technical sketch, including engineering lines
a description of the process used to create the scale sketch
Submission Requirements
Proper grammar and vocabulary is required.

Scan your sketch to turn it into an electronic document that you can submit to your instructor.
