City Engineering

The City Engineering elective participates in the Northern California Future City Competition. Students will be introduced to the Engineering Design Process, equipping them with the skills necessary to research, design, and construct a futuristic city model. Initially, students will explore various technologies, organizations, and personnel essential for the operation of a functional city. They will have the opportunity to test their city designs using the interactive sandbox game called “SimCity”. As part of the competition requirements, students must compose a research paper that envisions a futuristic city while addressing a critical issue vital to its sustainability. Upon completing research, students will construct a physical model of their futuristic city. Please note that additional after-school hours will be necessary in December to prepare adequately for the competition in January.
