My name is Chloe and I attend Wheeler High School. I am on the engineering track at Wheeler, which means I take a series of classes geared to my engineering interests as elective classes, along with my core classes like math, science, and literature. This blog is a part of my Survey of Engineering class. In this class I will learn drafting techniques, on paper along with in CAD (Computer Aided Design) software. Drafting is a fancy word to say professional drawing; a regulated drawing used to express items in real life to scale. There are three classes in this career pathway: Intro to Engineering Drawing, Survey to Engineering Graphics, and 3D Modeling. In the Intro class I learned the basics of drafting, such as, what pencils to use and when, what different kinds of lines mean and how they are used, and uniform lettering. All of this knowledge combines to help us effectively convey a technical drawing. In the Survey of Engineering Graphics class I will be learning more advanced way to put this background knowledge to use, for example, complex sketches on paper as well as on the computer, along with dimension my own work and transferring to velum. I choose this class to further educate myself in Engineering, I believe my career will center around some kind of engineering and this class will provide me a solid understanding of the basics.
