What is Civil Engineering and why am I interested?
Understanding
Observation
Collaboration
If you spent the day as an Engineer...
Arrive at the office and get started on current projects
9:00 AM
Work on the large project at hand. Talk over the phone with a contractor requesting an inspection later that day. Respond to some emails that have gone unanswered for a few days.
10:00 AM
Go to inspect the job-site that was previously mentioned. Make sure the building holds certain requirements and regulations.
11:00 AM
Head back to the office to meet with some local officials about building a new recreational area and discuss costs, issues, and environmental risks.
Noon
Eat lunch with some of my coworkers who are near me.
2:00 PM
Get back to the office and start a rough draft of a park that I'm working on.
4:00 PM
Converse with some of the interns that are working at the office at the time about any questions that had about the day or anything that they need help on.
5:00 PM
Get ready to head out by checking any left over messages and emails to make the next morning easier.
What would I make when I'm just starting out?
Education?
