Students practice creating rudimentary detail drawings. They learn how engineers communicate the technical information about their designs using the basic components of detail drawings. They practice creating their own drawings of a three-dimensional block and a special LEGO piece, and then make 3D sketches of an unknown object using only the information provided in its detail drawing.

This assessment piece was from the first unit of a first time course my co-op teacher and I developed. The course teaches construction and computer assisted design through building guitars. For this project students were asked to create a guitar model based on the Fender Telecaster. It assessed skills we had been working on for about a month prior to this assessment. Their models for this particular assignment would have to be compared to exemplars and blueprints as accuracy is of extremely high importance when building a guitar. There was other projects leading up to the unit that assessed their technical as well as creative skills. This is a 4 point rubric (unsatisfactory, emerging, proficient, and exceptional) and assess Drafting modules 27 and 28 that focus on interpreting blueprints and creating high quality models. The first of 7 C's this rubric assesses is Communication. Students are being assessed on their competency and literacy of CAD programs and how professionals would be communicating in the field. The second C this rubric covers is developing computer and digital technologies. Students, through completing this unit are using computers and digital resources to create products.

In this activity, students learn about creating a design directly from a CAD (computer-aided design) program. They will design a tower in CAD and manufacture the parts with a laser cutter. A competition determines the tower design with the best strength:weight ratio. Students also investigate basic structural truss concepts and stress concentrations. Partnership with a local college or manufacturing center is necessary for the completion of this project.
