NPTC ENGINEERING STUDENTS VISIT HABITAT HOUSE
Hot Springs, Arkansas – National Park Technology Center (NPTC) Pre-engineering students visited a Habitat for Humanity jobsite last week so students could learn how houses are constructed.
The Civil Engineering and Architecture class is working on a project that requires
each student to design a house which meets the Habitat for Humanity criteria using
industry standard architectural design software. The students will perform mock interactions
with clients and criteria will be refined based on the client’s hypothetical needs.
