Engineering Unit Plans

In this project based learning unit, middle school/early high school students learn about city planning and architecture as they research and design their own city. In addition to using Internet search skills, they'll utilize CAD skills using Sketchup (free download) and finally build the city from chipboard and other recyclables and name their final creation. .

Unit download includes:

1. Teacher Resources and Materials List

2. Expectations and Overview of the Unit

3. Introduction to City Planning (research and vocabulary) – includes key

4. “What’s in the City” – team worksheet

5. Project Proposal – group planning worksheet

7. Building the City Information (hands on construction)

8. Student Team Work Log

9. Student Daily Work Log

10. Building scale information and examples
