Week 8 Prompt Post: Prcticing Your Knowledge, hand-on learning

My major is mechanical engineer and there two main jobs relate to my field which are using machines to produce products in factory like a mechanical engineer; another one is to design pictures and structures for like jet engines and appearance of autos. For me, I think I am more prefer to design stuffs in office because I think it is risky to use the machines by my own, because I have seen and heard some mechanical engineers got bad injured during the process of using those heavy machines.

       Because of I am still not get into Mechanical Engineer College yet, so I just ask my friends who have already in the college about the design things. And the answer I get is very similar to what was I think. For example, if I want to design a auto, I need to draw the appearance of the auto and give approximately data first, normally, mechanical engineers use professional software to design, but I don’t know which is the one I supposed to use, so I just do a hand-draw picture here to finish the hand-on learning subject, don’t laugh at me :)

       

There are some techniques to draw a designing picture for an auto. My engineer friend tells me that if you want to draw an auto design, the priority is to begin with two wheels, so you can handle the main position of the auto. Start with wheel and then the windows, so you can know how high the vehicle is. The rest things are pretty simple, but this is the only hand-learning drawing, don’ t take is seriously, if you see the professional software one day, the things will be different to today the bad drawing u see. Once again, hope you enjoy.
