Procedures
Projects must be created using computer software. Completed projects must be submitted as either digital program files or links. If your design will not function without the software, the student submission must include a screen recording or screenshots showcasing the design. For example, students can screen record on their iPad, upload the file to OneDrive, generate a link and copy/paste the link in with the CAD information to https://www.wcpsmediaexpo.com
Judging Criteria
Content Achieves Purpose
Creativity and Originality: The project showcases the uniqueness of the concept and reflects the entrant's perspective in developing the design or technical drawing. The design should be evaluated on what makes it novel and whether it represents a significant advancement over the current state of design.
Subject Matter: The chosen project is represented effectively through the CAD model, demonstrating innovation and functionality in its execution.
Content Suitable to Audience
Technical Drawing Standards: The submission adheres to standard conventions in technical drawing, which includes the proper use of dimensions, annotations, and views such as orthographic and isometric projections.
3D Model Structure: The arrangement of components within the 3D model is logically organized and effectively utilizes space, enhancing the overall clarity and functionality of the design.
Creativity/Originality
Technical Proficiency: The design is evaluated based on its quality, which includes accuracy, detail, and adherence to CAD best practices. The 3D rendering should clearly communicate the design intent and functionality to the viewer, with neat line weight, line style, dimensioning, use of scales, and blocks and borders contributing to an excellent overall visual presentation.
Functional Design: The design demonstrates a high level of practicality and usability, taking into account the intended purpose of the project and how well it fulfills that purpose.
Organization/Structure
Use of CAD Software: The entrant displays proficiency in using software such as TinkerCAD, AutoCAD, or similar programs to create detailed and accurate 3D models and technical drawings. The quality of the final 3D rendering, including realism, lighting, and material textures, enhances the visual appeal of the design.
Presentation of Work: The overall impact of the submission is assessed, which includes the organization of files, clarity of drawings, and any supporting documentation that explains the design process. Judges will also look for evidence that student designers explored and utilized elements of the software program to assist in the creation and communication of their design.
