The State of Arizona has assembled Drafting standards to make sure that Instruction is thorough and well thought out by the instructor. By clicking on the hyperlink below will upload to your browser window the entirety of these standards. The standards that are addressed in this lesson are below the hyperlink.

The State of Arizona has also assembled Math standards and many of these apply directly to the vocational subject area of Drafting. Drafting is a very precise discipline and the use of mathematics is integral to design and manufacturing. Below are the math standards that are involved in this lesson

1M-P1. Compare and contrast the real number system and its various subsystems with
regard to their structural characteristics

• PO 2. Compare subsets of the real number system with regard to their properties
  (commutative, associative, distributive, identity, inverse and closure properties)

1M-P2. Construct, interpret and demonstrate meaning for real numbers and absolute

• PO 3. Solve real-world distance problems using absolute value
• PO 4. Determine, among the solutions to a real-world problem, which, if any, is reasonable
• PO 2. Define absolute value as the distance from the origin

4M-P1. Interpret and draw three-dimensional objects

• PO 1. Sketch prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders and spheres
• PO 2. Classify prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders and spheres by base shape and lateral surface shape.
• PO 3. Recognize the three-dimensional figure represented by a two-dimensional drawing.
• PO 5. Make a model of a three-dimensional figure from a two-dimensional drawing and make a two-dimensional representation of a three-dimensional object (models and representations include scale drawings, perspective drawings, blueprints or computer simulations)

4M-P4. Deduce properties of, and relationships between, figures from given
assumptions

• PO 1. Find similarities and differences among geometric shapes and designs using a given attribute (e.g., height, area, perimeter, diagonals and angle measurements)
• PO 2. Identify arcs, chords, tangents and secants of a circle
• PO 3. State valid conclusions using given geometric definitions, postulates and theorems
• PO 4. Represent pi as the ratio of circumference to diameter
  

Lesson Objectives

1. Draw using ACAD 2002 the Spur Gear from the table of Engineering Specifications.
2. Use the Array command to array the teeth that are constructed from these specifications.
3. Use the trim command to trim all skew lines and create a region.
4. Extrude the region into a 3d gear and subtract a cylinder from its center, creating an axis of rotation.
5. Use the Rotate3d command and orient the extruded model in Plan View and scale to 1/2.
