reflection and summary
This standard was met through using the AutoCAD system. In it, I found the scaling ratio for the drawing by seeing which scale of the drawing fit inside of the Etowah Architecture template. It was simple to find and write down, once I got the hang of it. The ability to find proper drawing scales is critical in the real world. Without a scale for the drawing, architects would not know how big the actual object is supposed to be. This standard has real world application that is very easy to see because if the correct scale for a building was not known by builders, the building would fail and would cost a lot of money to fund the building.

These pictures are of previous sketches of mine that demonstrate the proper scaling technique for engineering and architectural drawings. They are the finished product of finding the proper scale for a drawing.
