Single V-Belt Pulley

I made a mistake by putting the radius of the circles instead of the diameters. If you half the radius of each circle you get the right answer. 320 divided by 2 = 160 and so on.

Lever Base Drawing

Today I worked on making a Lever Base Drawing on AutoCAD. I used different types of layers to show the different types of lines

Bearing Support Scale 1:1

Level Base Scale - 1:2

Sectional Drawing

A sectional drawing is a detailed scale drawing observed in a standing section. More like the elevation and floor plan drawing, section view drawings are that much important.

Full Section Views - This is the normal way of cutting a section. The cutting plane lies on a single plane and passes through the entire object

Half Section Views - This technique is used to show the exterior and interior of a symmetrical object in a single projection view.

Offset Section Views - Offset section is a technique where the cutting plane offsets to pass through various features that would otherwise be missed by a full section.

Revolved Section - Revolved section shows only the features on the cut plane. Instead of projecting the section onto an adjacent view, the resulting section obtained from the cutting
is revolved 90° and is placed on the same view.

Removed Section Views - Removed section is similar to revolved section in that only the cutplane is shown. However, the section is placed elsewhere on the drawing.

Our main features are to make the first hill, the loops after it and the 90 degree drop. Our initial thoughts on the loops were that it wouldnt work after a hill but found out that it would work. There was also a corkscrew in our ride, but it was to hard to put in.

Sectioning Drawings Note

Sectional Views

-Must show the solids and voids

-Pass through an axis f symetry

-Parallel to one of the principal planes

-Outside shapers don't reflect inside shapes

-Some objects have different sapes on the exterior and in the interior

-Sectioning used to provide details of the interior

Our main features are to make the first hill, the loops after it and the 90 degree drop. Our initial thoughts on the loops were that it wouldnt work after a hill but found out that it would work. There was also a corkscrew in our ride, but it was to hard to put in.

Roller coaster final

Today i added supports to my roller coaster for both the drops and edited the loops

Career - Architect

Career – Architect

Architects typically start by producing drawings or sketches for new buildings or for the renovation of old buildings. Often these designs include precise descriptions of the materials to be used in the construction, as well as the necessary mechanical, electrical, and structural specifications.

Architects are responsible for making sure the buildings they make are safe and conform to local by-laws. If they fail in any of these areas, they run the risk of being sued.

Architects usually work in office settings where they use computer-aided design (CAD) software to design buildings, bridges, and other structures. Some architects still work on large drafting tables, using pencils, rulers, and paper to create their designs. Architects may spend a lot of time on the phone with clients and contractors.

Working hours vary greatly. Some architects work 7 to 8 hours a day, 5 days a week; others might work 12 hours a day, 6 days a week. For architects who are self-employed, hours depend on how much business they can get and on how many hours they are willing to work. In a large firm, hours depend on how much work an architect is given by senior architects.

Using Career Selector:


Career: Professional Athlete


What do people in this career do?

Athletes work and compete at many different levels. Professional athletes train for competitions or games in baseball, tennis, football, swimming, figure skating, hockey, and many other sports. Their day is usually divided between physical training (weightlifting, running, cardiovascular exercises, and so on) and practice (drills, scrimmages, and exhibition games) of their sport.





What skills do they have?

Athletes who compete at the professional level in the higher profile sports and athletic leagues have access to the highest caliber equipment for training. An athlete may use all sorts of computerized running, rowing, or cycling equipment to monitor and increase his or her level of performance. The characteristics that distinguish successful athletes from less successful ones are total commitment, the desire to win, and a determination to always raise the game to the next level.


Michael likes:

“The competitive aspect is very important to me, and since a young age I have enjoyed competing against other individuals. I also like the fans. Whether they are for you or against you, they tend to ignite extra energy that can make you play all that much harder. And finally, I like the pressure—being in situations where you have to get the job done. I find I always play better when the pressure is on


Michael dislikes:

“The first dislike would be job security. Every year there are new players trying to take your job, new coaches with new ideas, and sometimes you don’t fit into their future plans.

What are three things that you think are good about this job

The thing that attracts me most about this career is the earnings. Depending on the sport an athlete can make up to a million dollars. The lowest paying salary in the NFL is 400,000$, the highest paying salary is 23 million dollars. Another thing that interests me about this career is the possibility of a scholarship to a university. If you are a really good athlete throughout high school, you can get a scholarship to a university. If you don’t get a job as a professional athlete there are branches out from that job, including: referee, coach, personal trainer, gym teacher, and more.

What are three things that you think are bad about this job

The only thing that bothers me about this job is the risk of serious injury. Everyday on the field, whether it is football, soccer, or any sport you play, there is a high risk of injury. Another issue I have is traveling. If you go from city to city playing you have to leave your family behind.

Journal Entry: Today i worked on my career assignment on Microsoft Word. The job i picked was a profesional athlete. I wrote about my likes/dislikes about the job, the average salary and why i picked this job.

Reading Dimensions - Drawing

Journal Entry 10

I worked on the website www.careercruising.com on the career path of an architect. I filled out questions that involve the career and what working conditions the job has. I also found an interview on an architect named Ryan, that talks about his working conditions, and his day to day life on the job.

AutoCAD - Trim and Offset

I made these two designs on AutoCAD using a worksheet

What Are Dimensions?

Dimesnsions provide two things:
Size and Location

Generel Drawing Rules

If you have an arc: use radial dimensions (> 180)
If you have a circle: use diameter dimensions

Display only the number of decimal places required for manufacturing precicion

Journal Entry 9

Today i worked on AutoCAD learning how to offset and trim squares into different looking shapes.

Case Study Report - Football Stadium Architecture

Football Stadium Design

My case study is on designing a new football stadium in Chicago, Illinois. In the picture above it shows a design on the bleachers of the stadium. There are many attributes to add to the bleachers, including: steel rod, steel beam, steel rib, steel support and the steel tube. For the stadium you need to consider things like, parking, cost, and how many people it will fit. The most important thing is to plan ahead before starting the project. This project is expected to be done by 2013.

This is what the stadium looks like now but will get renovated to something more bigger and better.

Steel has a big role in this project because all the bleachers and stands will be supported by steel. Over 100 million dollars will be spent on this project for Chicago's new stadium.
