One thing I've learned about myself is that I really am excited to do this internship and to eventually become a civil engineer. Being able to see these plans is awesome and what Bruce is gonna do for me throughout this whole school year is have me be learning from many people every part of engineering that he can possibly make happen.

I'm interning at McGuire and Hester and so far I've only gone there once as an intern. It is in Oakland so it's a bit out of my way but I enjoy it there. Depending on what Bruce, my mentor, has planned for me the hours may vary. I can usually get about three or four hours if I'm only released once a week. Last Friday I went in to the office and sat down with Bruce for three hours and he explained to me a general overview of one of the many projects that they're working on right now. It's the big pond next to Cull Canyon Road so it's really close. What they're doing is turning the pond back into a creek and lowering the dam so it can flow easier. Seems like a simple project but it's not and the amount of detail is unbelievably overwhelming right now.

I'm so happy for you Austin! Your placement is perfect for you - and you are going to learn so much this year. I can't wait to hear more about it as your placement progresses.
ReplyDeleteI think it's so cool how you get to work on this project and really get to see how civil engineers really work and seeing all of the planning! I think you're going to do a great job with all of the work you're doing within this huge project!
ReplyDeleteIt's great that you get to actually work as an intern, despite the liability issues. I'm curious to learn more about what you will be involved in.
