Learning Goals
Students will be able to define a tiny home residential wiring problem using measurable criteria and NEC-based constraints for outlet, switch, and fixture placement.
Students will be able to analyze a resident profile and room-by-room layout to determine wiring needs that support safety, access, and daily routines.
Students will be able to generate multiple tiny home wiring concepts using scale drawings and simplified electrical symbols.
Students will be able to evaluate wiring options with code cards and a decision matrix to justify the safest and most efficient layout.
Students will be able to prototype a cardboard or paper tiny home room layout and test device placement against simplified NEC guidelines.
Students will be able to revise a tiny home wiring plan based on test results, critique, and code checks to improve safety and efficiency.
Students will be able to communicate a final tiny home wiring design with evidence of code compliance, trade-offs, and resident fit.
Products
Individual Tiny Home Wiring Design Notebook and Code Justification Packet
Each student submits an original design notebook with at least two wiring concepts, annotated scale sketches, a simple decision matrix, and a written justification of the selected layout. The packet must show how the student used NEC-based constraints, resident needs, and test/critique evidence to make decisions.
Team Tiny Home Wiring Prototype, Scale Plan, and Expo Presentation
Teams build a tested cardboard or paper room prototype and a final scale wiring plan that reflects revised decisions from critique and code checks. They present performance evidence, trade-offs, limitations, and how the design meets the resident profile’s daily needs.
