Unit 1 Assessment - Civil Engineering & Architecture

My unit for Civil Engineering & Architecture focuses on the history of civil engineering & architecture, different architectural styles, and how to become a civil engineer or architect. It takes approximately two months for this unit which starts at the beginning of the school year.

** I created these assessments in Word, however, when I uploaded them to Google Drive, some of the formatting became messed up even though it still looks fine on the Word documents.
