Lesson Plan

Course Title: Construction Technology

Session Title: Tape Measure Conversion (To Drawing Scale)

Time:

One Week

[Lesson length is subjective and will vary from instructor to instructor]

Performance Objective:

The learner will be able to demonstrate the basic knowledge of tape measure conversion of the engineering scale shown on existing drawings through verbal and written recitation as well as visual performance through overhead projection of completed projects.

Specific Objectives:

Upon completion of this lesson, the learner will be able to:

• Implement design changes to basic residential house plans by portraying a simple plan layout change of the structure as well as various elevation views using only a tape measure, straight edge and pen or pencil.

• Develop specific "right & wrong" solutions.

• Apply specific approaches to reading and comprehending engineering and architect scales, related triangles, compass techniques and other drafting implements in relation to the common tape measure

• Demonstrate using the common tape measure to create field changes to an existing floor plan and elevation views

• Create their own basic design changes based on solutions to challenges from the needs of their own homes

• Demonstrate their knowledge of basic drafting techniques through verbal and written presentations of materials and changes in existing plans.

Introduction

Introduction (LSI Quadrant I):

It is important that students recognize and relate to the need for clean, organized drawings. Show students a drawing that is not organized, smudged, or hard to read and place it in contrast to one that is.

ASK: Which one would you pick to hire?

Discuss the reasons for which one they would pick. Explain the importance of drafting and design to real world scenarios. Learners need to comprehend of the need to be able to convert tape measurements into engineering scale in order to show customers and employees details and application of field changes to existing drawings
