Learn how to measure and understand varied properties of metal. Design and hand-draft a steel bridge, make a material list and transfer it onto metal. Use a steel sheer, bender, drill and pop-rivet the pieces together. Students can choose to "stress- test" their bridges and compare design strengths with classmates. The second project is a pre-designed tool box with a removable tray. This uses knowledge of measurements, laying out parts on metal and includes the use of the bandsaw and spot welder. Cut and form hinges from a single piece of metal, join them and build handles with different size rods. Use of hand tools such as hacksaw, cold chisel and files are involved. If time allows, students may have the opportunity to build practical projects of their own design. This course is part of  the Architecture and Construction Career Pathway
