Senior, Civil Engineering


As this quarter quickly closes in on its final weeks, I find myself finishing up three different projects.

The first is a foundation engineering project. In this project a group of 5 students and myself are faced with the task of designing a set of foundations for a proposed building development.

The second is another group project involving the design of a water treatment facility. We are given a test sample of water from our mock source and have the assignment of cleaning the water in order to meet EPA standards.

The final project is one that I have a lot of interest in and is in computer aided structural design. For this project, one other student and myself are given a generic plan for a building. It is then our job to input the structure into software which aids in the actual design of the structural members. This is something that I hope to do once I graduate so the experience I am gaining through this project is priceless.
