School Wants To Play Rough?Um...all I can say is holy crap! It has been almost two whole weeks now into my senior year as a Civil Engineer Cue the bitches bitching that civil engineers don't do anything , and it feels like I'm already working for a large firm.
I have five classes; Environmental Engineering, Open Channel Flow, Foundation Design, Senior Design, and Civil Experimentation.
Most of those classes are standard, you learn about something, you do some homework, you take a test, repeat. But Senior Design...good gravy this is going to be tough to explain.
Essentially, the senior class has been split into two teams and each given a real world task to plan, design, propose to city council, and make sure it works. My team has been assigned to turn a large parking lot into a Bio-technical Laboratory that treats 100% of all water that leaves it, along with a large parking ramp with a bridge and or tunnel connecting it to the main campus across the street. We have to take into consideration the change in Transportation (Traffic flow), Geotechnical (Foundations, ground soil), Environmental (Waste water management), Water Resources (Water/Storm/Sewer piping), and Structural (Making sure the damn build stays up and looks pretty)
I've been put in charge of the Structural team...and I can't be more excited. I'm already in talks with city planners and other structural engineers that have dealt with the area's soil issues and essentially working along side them for at least the next semester. I have a team of four of my peer student under my wing, and my goodness this is entertaining.
I'm also now partially in charge of the Concrete Canoe Planning Committee...which happens in April. Have a lot of planning stuff that thankfully and luckily I have dealt with in regards to planning for RT MN in the past, so I think I can handle that as well. Plus RT MN!!!! So freaking much.
So, this is basically a big journal saying that I am going to be super busy with school this year, and I still have to do the FE exam (8 hour exam in October) to become a certified engineer. Busy busy busy, which will likely mean you probably won't see me on Rooster Speak or chatting with everyone as much as I have been in the past. Just want to make sure that you all know that I love ya, and don't worry, I haven't left you.
Much love.
