Title of Lesson/Unit: Design and Assemble One Door Kitchen Cabinet
Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) STEM Concepts Addressed:
The purpose of this unit set of lessons is to introduce students to the general concepts
of Auto-Cad Technology using the 2d to 3d geometrical transitions in SolidWorks. The
kitchen cabinet represents a collection of simple geometry patterns that introduce the
major components of SolidWorks. In addition, the SolidWorks Email Conversion
Operation allows students to submit teacher approved projects into the student
proficiency portfolio.
Length of instruction period: 50 minutes
How many periods needed to implement lesson unit: 8-12 periods (2-3 weeks)
Grade Level(s) for use: 9-12
Objectives:
 Use of the three types of documents (part, assembly, and drawing)
 Create four major views (front, right side, top, and isometric)
 Modify drawing template
 Use of feature manager
 Use of the toolbox to get bolts and fasteners for cabinet assembly
 Assembly door to cabinet
 Use of SolidWorks Email Conversion to send documents to student portfolio.
Materials: SolidWorks, graph paper and pencil.
Procedures:
General Procedures implemented over a two-three week period:
Sketch cabinet front, right side, and top views on graph paper.
Sketch views using SolidWorks.
Sketch isometric view by using front, right side, and top views of cabinet on
graph paper
Sketch isometric view in SolidWorks.
Place all four views into SolidWorks drawing and edit drawing template
Assemble door to cabinet front using SolidWorks(Use feature manager and toolbox)
Convert SolidWorks drawing into email format
Send Email SolidWorks drawing file to student portfolio folder
