Homework for next week

Read the first Chapter in the book and answer questions 1-9 on page 20.

Choose one discipline in the portion of your notes below labeled “Fields using Technical Drawing”. Give a short history of the field, tell what is done in the field, and why it is important to our society. (One paragraph for each of these three topics). Then find a major project which has been done in the field, and take at least one page to explain it. Include at least three illustrations. When you are done, you should have a two page typed paper describing your field, and an important or creative project done in it. The 3 pictures (minimum) are not included in the page count, but are required. Be prepared to present your findings to the class in the next class session.
