Details are to be drawn in 1 1/2"=1'-0" on 8 1/2" x 11" paper.
Details may be drawn freehand, on the board or on CAD.
Please submit original drawings only, no photocopies, sepias or bluelines.
If the drawings were generated on CAD please submit a hard copy and the .DWG or .DXF or .IGES file on a 3 1/2" floppy diskette with your name. You can also e-mail me the drawings as attachment.
This is an individual assignment not a group project.
Slide Journal: Submit a minimum of 30 slides (in 8 1/2" x 11" transparent slide pockets 20 per sheet, plus a CD-disk with the slides) or a video tape or a powerpoint presentation or a www home page, which summarize steel as structural system and building material. The slides may include: raw materials, making and forming of steel, formulas, terms, details, various finishes and treatments, completed projects, failure of structures, aging of metals, environmental impact, proper/improper use of metals, title slides, summary slides, details 1-5, group project, self portray of author, etc. Number the slides and place them in sequence to best tell your story. A picture is worth a thousand words, and the slides should be self explanatory, however you are allowed to submit the slides in a binder with an contents sheet, which identifies the slide and gives a one sentence to one paragraph explanation:
