CH202 Design Project for Extra Credit
As future engineers, it is important for you to be able to interface with computer-aided design
(CAD) programs. Therefore, I would like to offer an extra credit opportunity for you in this class
involving CAD.
In this extra credit opportunity you will have the opportunity to do a 3-dimensional drawing of
a piece of scientific apparatus or other concept in your chemistry book for some extra credit.
On top of that, you will have an interesting piece of design for your portfolio that you can use to
impress future interviewers and bosses. Finally, your drawings may be used in future iterations
of the class to inspire incoming future engineers to mix art and science in ways that only
engineers truly can.
The grading criteria for this assignment are as follows:
Task Points Allotted Accuracy of the model 3 points
Difficulty of the model Meaning multiple-piece and highly complex models such as one of a spectrometer will be worth more points than a model of a singular atom
4 points – more points may be allotted by the discretion of the instructor
Short explanation of the pertinence of the model to the chemical experience
2 points
Quality of the images submitted 1 point
For these extra credit points, please submit .dxf as well as some choice TIFF images of your
apparatus to [email protected] no later than the start of business (9am)
on the Monday of week 10 of the term. Please include your explanation of the model in the
text of the email.
LATE WORK WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY CREDIT
THERE ARE NO EXCEPTIONS
