Industrial Technology
Home Design
Using AutoCad, SketchUp or other home design apps, have students design a home using proper measurements, code requirements, and engineering concepts. Going one step further, have students create models of said home design.
Mechanical Drawing
Using proper lines, measurements, and drafting equipment, have students complete mechanical drawings using programs found both on desktops and tablets (AutoCad, etc).
How To and Safety Videos
Have students create "how to" videos on projects or different steps in making projects; these videos could easily be used in the future and built upon to help set up a "Flipped" environment. You could also have students work together to create proper safety videos to be used and viewed in class.
Budgeting
Any construction project comes with a budget - have students use Numbers to create and maintain a budget for the projects they do, whether a small woods project or an mock residential building project - help students understand the finances behind building anything.
