                                        COMMUNICATION  

Developing new products, inventions and innovations are always communicated through engineered drawings, which are used as a way to communicate information to Designers and Engineers.
Interpreting The importance of Engineering Drawings, the information they communicate about the design/information is critically important.  

Uniform standards 

By using uniform standards, processes and tools it creates a level playing field for like or common information across all sectors of the world.   The current conventions you will use to communicate drawing information is called ANSI, American National Standard.  By using specific conventions, Engineers and Designers have a uniform way to communicate all information needed to create a part, size, material, tolerances and more.  This is important these areas are standardized so no further information needs to be communicated to the fabricator, for production.  This decreases the need for lead time and any confusion about final production.

2. Abilities for a Technological World

Students will develop the ability to intentionally apply the design process, implementation
of tools and machines to model, test, troubleshoot, observe, investigate, and analyze
the relationship between solutions and assess impacts on all technological products and systems.

Standard 11.  Students will develop the abilities to apply the design process.

Indicator R: Evaluate final solutions and communicate observation, processes, and results of the entire design process, using verbal, graphic, quantitative, virtual, and written means, in addition to three-dimensional models.

3. Design and Application

Students will identify and develop an awareness of the attributes of design and engineering practices, the role of research and development, invention and innovation, and experimentation play in developing solutions to a problem.  

5. The Designed World

Students will learn to turn resources, materials, tools, machines, people, information,
energy, capital and time into useful products and systems.

 Standard #17 Students will develop an understanding of and be able to select and use information
and communication technologies

Indicator P: Students will develop an understanding of and be able to select and use information and communication technologies.  In order to select, use, and understand information and communication technologies, students should learn that:  There are many ways to communicate information, such as graphic and electronic means.

ACTION STEPS

You will choose 4 pictures that must be black and white.  

You will need to save these pictures to your computer.  Remember where you save the pics.

Bring Image into AI

Live trace the image

Ungroup the image

Select the direct selection tool

delete the outside shape and any white background image

Check image for any tails, spots or hangers and delete them

Save image as an SVG

Bring image into Glowforge

Parameters

#1

1)Key chain must be have an outside diameter of 2" or less

Must have a 1/8" hole near the edge to accept a key chain ring.

#2

1) Choose either of the 2 next projects

2) There must be Text on the Product that is created by the designer

3) There must be a cut out other than a perimeter shape, this can be either the text or part of the logo

ASSIGNMENT 

As we discuss the realizations, Engineers and Scientists may have not considered the impacts and  Downstream affects of critical decisions, consider the actions which have led to the extreme pollution across the world, answer the following questions.  

Post your answers in the comment section to below questions. 

In your observations of the videos identify obstacles which would hold back or hinder the collection process of the ocean clean up and the interceptors 

Take a stance on whether these types of collection devices are serving the symptom or the cause in the fight against pollution and environmental inequality for some across the world?
