| Description | Student teams meet a set of requirements and given constraints as they create small-scale model parking garages. They experience the engineering design process as they design, plan and build their model structures, and then test them for strength to determine their maximum loads. The difference between architects and engineers can be confusing because their roles in building design can be similar. Students experience a bit of both professions by following a set of requirements and meeting given constraints as they create their own model parking garages. Teams experience the engineering design process first-hand as they design, build and test their models. They draw blueprints of their designs, select the construction materials and budget their expenditures. They also test their structures for strength and find their maximum loads. |
