This is Your Career

1.  In this project, I contacted a civil engineer and also did research on the civil engineering field.  Using this information, I made a video from the point of view of myself ten years in the future after having chosen a career in structural engineering.

4.  From this project, I learned the different specialties in civil engineering and what the process is for becoming an engineer.  I enjoyed hearing from Keith Matte because he is an actual structural engineer, and he provided a view of civil engineering that I hadn't heard before.  I didn't dislike anything.  If I were to do something differently, I would write slightly different questions to hear more about the field of civil engineering.

Greek Revival Architecture Model

In this project, I researched Greek revival architecture and then created a model of this style using styrofoam and other materials.

Here is a picture of my model:


While doing this project, I learned many things.  One of the things I learned is how relevant the ancient Greek architecture features are today.  I really liked seeing the examples of how the traditional Greek designs and ideas were used in modern situations.  I diskliked the look of the stone on my architecture.  If I were to do this project over again, I would probably create a more realistic texture of the stone and make the model neater.
