277
STEM Activities
1. Engineering: Go to the school library.
Find a shelf of books that are written
on a topic that interests you. Measure
the height, width, and thickness of
each book and calculate the volume
in cubic inches. Design a three-shelf
bookcase large enough to hold just these
books with no room to spare. Create a
multiview drawing of the bookcase. Fully
dimension the drawing using the rules of
dimensioning discussed in this chapter.
Take care to create the drawing and
dimensions with the proper line weights.
2. Engineering: Measure all of your
CDs and DVDs. Calculate how much
space they require. Design a carrying
case for the CDs and DVDs. Create a
multiview drawing of your design. Fully
dimension the drawing using the rules of
dimensioning discussed in this chapter.
