Research an evolving technology for construction.

Research may include

  • materials
    • alternate materials for insulation (e.g., spray foam, wool, sawdust)
    • glass (e.g., for windows, solar arrays, etc.)
    • earth-bag material for homes
    • self-healing materials
    • polymers

  • equipment
    • drones
    • robots

  • techniques
    • virtual reality
    • 3D printing.

Process/Skill Questions:

  • What are examples of emerging materials in construction?
  • How is virtual reality used in construction?
  • What are the reasons for using an alternative material?
