Equipment needed for this course is three mechanical pencils (.05, .07 & .09), one wooden pencil (HB), a white eraser, 1/4” graph paper, 3-ring binder and a USB drive. You are responsible to have your supplies in class every day beginning with the first Monday of class.
You will be required to have a Google g-mail email account in order to facilitate document sharing and blog access. Your email address should be professional and recognizable. Either use a combination of your first & last name or first/last name and a number. The blog will become a portfolio demonstrating your work. You will be communicating with professional designers through the blog and having a proper email address is important. If your parents would like to discuss this with me, then please let me know and I will be happy to contact them.
If you have not done so already, I recommend that you join the Autodesk Student Community and download a student license of AutoCAD. I will email you the instructions on how to do this after classes begin. This will enable you to continue working at home should you be absent.Once you begin the design projects, you will contribute to a project blog. This will be an on-going assignment that demonstrates your ability to communicate in a written format.
Textbooks are not assigned to bring home, but there will be homework in this course.

“What is Engineering Drawing & Design?” Engineering Drawing & design is a series of courses that teaches how to express, plan, specify and evaluate ideas through the language of technical drawing. These courses will also familiarize the student with the procedures and practices common to the industries that use drafting. Some of these career fields are Aeronautics, Architecture, Civil Engineering, Geology, Mechanical Engineering and urban Planning to name a few.
Behavioral Expectations
You are in high school now. You are preparing to go on to college or enter the work force in a few years. I am here to help you learn skills that you will use as an adult functioning in our society. I expect professional behavior at all times. I will enforce the student code of conduct as it is stated in your student handbook. Briefly stated, I expect you to be present in class every day and to work each day for the entire class period. There will be no bathroom breaks nor going to the counselor’s office during class period. Be forewarned, if you choose to break the rules, you will suffer the consequences.
Lab Rules
- Follow directions the first time given.
- Pick up your folder and equipment and be seated in your assigned seat before the tardy bell rings ready to begin the day’s assignment.
- Respect other persons and their property.
- Stay in your work area unless you have permission to do otherwise.
- All drinks, food, gum, candy, computer disk/CDs, electronic devices and cell phones will be disposed of before entering the room.
- No internet usage unless you have permission from the instructor.
Safety Issues
- Be familiar with the fire exit plan and other emergency drills.
- Do not lean back in the chairs. Keep all chair legs on the floor at all times.
- Be extremely careful when using pointed or sharp instruments. Never turn a compass or razor knife so that it points toward the face or body of yourself or another person.
- No horseplay! This means no sports, pushing, wrestling, running or throwing.
Grading System
All engineering Drawing classes have lectures, demonstrations, group and individual work. As your skills increase, so do the complexity of the projects. All work has a deadline. Any assignment turned late will lose ten percent of the highest possible grade for every day it is late. No assignment will be accepted after 5 days. Students and parents can see their grades on Pinnacle. Do not ask me in class to see your grades.
