Students should finish the section view activity on Tuesday. You will need to create item # 5 and #7 in Inventor. Be sure that you choose the best side for a front view BEFORE you start sketching. Skip #4 & #6 (sketch in your journal) as you will use drawings that are created by Inventor. On Thursday, we will start a review of dimensioning techniques so that you can create a drawing packet for the train. Then, we will be finished up with the train.
If you want to print your train on the 3d printer, you need to engrave your name or initials in the train body somewhere, make sure that it is shelled, and place an STL file in the 3d pinter folder for your class period. Get with myself or Mr. Peterson for help completing this. I have printed about 8-10 of the trains already. Be patient as the trains need to cure and dry before I can get them to you, so that they don't break as easily.
Leave your journals in class this week as I will be grading them. Be sure to follow the usual journal requirements. You should have class notes and work from the last two activities: auxiliary views and section views. You can find the activities on Moodle if you need to make up any work.
Students have the choice sheets to sign up for courses for next year. I created and gave a presentation in class last week that described the course sequence for engineering classes. Students in IED should take Principles of Engineering (PoE) next, but you may take it in conjunction with another class if you need to squeeze in two classes in one year. In order to be recognized as an academy graduate, you must complete IED, PoE, and Digital Electronics (DE). In addition, we offer Civil Engineering and Architecture (CEA) and Aerospace Engineering (AE) as specialization electives. Both courses appear on the choice sheet for next year. If you have any questions about the courses, what they involve, or what you should take, get with me.
