This was our first project in the Principles of Engineering course. This project was designed for the students to get more in depth knowledge of a type of engineering they were interested in. Personally, I chose civil engineering because that was the type of engineering I was most interested in. We were asked to briefly describe our category of engineering and what that type of engineer does on the job. We then explained why we chose that field of engineering and looked into the wages they receive. Lastly, we chose a college that had our intended major and looked into the classes you needed to take at that university to be successful as well as the cost of that particular university.
I learned more about civil engineering while completing this project. I was aware of the basics, but this project helped me look more in depth in this specific field. I also hadn't looked into civil engineering wages until completing this project. It was beneficial to learn about the University of Pittsburgh too. I learned about their AECOM program for students and how it helps students get internships and careers.
