IED Unit 1
Technical Sketching & Engineering Documentation
Students communicate engineering designs through sketching, measurement, tolerances, assembly documentation, bills of materials, change records, and final proposal presentations.
Unit 1 Student Presentation
Use the presentation to review technical sketching, line conventions, multiview drawing, dimensioning, measurement, tolerances, and rocket assembly documentation.

| Lesson | Title | Focus Question |
|---|---|---|
| 1.1 | Why Engineers Sketch | Why do engineers sketch before they build or model? |
| 1.2 | Line Conventions | How do different line types communicate different information? |
| 1.3 | Object Lines & Hidden Lines | How can a sketch show both visible and hidden features? |

| 1.16 | Rocket Assembly Systems | How do individual parts work together as an assembly? |
| 1.17 | Documenting the Rocket Assembly | How can documentation explain how a rocket assembly goes together? |
| 1.18 | Rocket Exploded View | How can an exploded view show assembly order and relationships? |
| 1.19 | Rocket Bill of Materials | How can a BOM communicate the parts, quantities, and materials in an assembly? |
| 1.20 | Rocket Assembly Notes | How do notes clarify assembly, inspection, and design intent? |
| 1.21 | Engineering Change Requests | How do engineers document design changes responsibly? |
| 1.22 | Final Rocket Assembly Proposal Presentation | How can a team present a documented improvement to an assembly? |
