1. Forging new generations of engineers

2. CEA Presentations

3. Presentations Components: Plans: –Floor (spatial layout) –Plot (land topography, easements, setbacks, ingress/egress) –Landscape (plant material and watering system location –Foundation –Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC –Truss Sections and details Elevations Renderings of interior & exterior perspectives, elevations, plot, floor plans, sections 3D models Budget, projected costs Specifications Manual Research citations

4. Plans Purpose: to show the location of all the design features in a design project, done by hand or on computer Includes: drawings, sections, elevations, schedules, details

5. Sections and Details Sections –Drawn to show the vertical relationships of the structural materials called for on the floor, framing, roof, and foundation plans. –Show the methods of construction Details –Type of section –Used to provide information about a small, complicated area of a structure

6. Elevations Essential part of the design and drafting process A group of drawings that show the exterior of a building An orthographic drawing –Shows one side of a building –Exterior shapes and finishes –Vertical relationships of the building levels Used in conjunction with sections and floor plans

7. Renderings Materials used: pencil, ink, water colors, marker, tempera, colored pencil, applique/overlay, and air brush Purpose: to add an element of realism that would not otherwise be there with the use of shades, shadows, and textures Types: exterior and interior perspective, elevations, plot plan, floor plan, and sections

8. 3D models Purpose: to represent the final design in a physical form that shows it as realistically as possible, computer generated or fabricated Advantage: can be moved around and viewed from any angle; show interior and exterior details; the addition of scaled objects (people, furniture, vehicles) gives visual clues as to the actual size

9. Budget and Projected Costs Purpose: To give the client a realistic estimate on the cost of construction and to follow a plan of expenses to enable the client to stay within his or her expectations.

10. Specifications Purpose: Provides the necessary written information to describe the materials, methods, and fixtures used in the design project.

11. Research Citations Provide source information of all ideas, concepts, pictures, and other materials that are not created by the team Use the APA Style of citation –Author name, last name first and first name with initials Jones, E. A. –Year in parenthesis (2003). –Title of material, such as book, article, web site, underlined with only first letter of first word in caps, unless it is a proper noun The beginning of the Americas. –City, State abbreviation followed by colon name of publisher Clifton Park, NY: Project Lead The Way, Inc.
