ENVIRO LAND - A DESIGN BRIEF

This design brief was developed as a general engineering brief but can be used for a variety of other purposes. For example, some students at the middle school level may still have difficulty in creating an overhead projection and as a result may have difficulty in reading and interpreting maps. An activity like this could prove helpful in identifying these students. Enviro-Land might also be used to reinforce the environmental issues the students have been studying as well as a venue for putting theory into practice when their parks are evaluated in respect to the earth friendly facilities and programs, they have projected into their park design. Other applications center around art, measurement, conservation, and blueprinting. Finally, it is expected that students present their park designs in an open forum. This provides a good opportunity for students to field questions and defend their designs.
