Before the experience, what did you think would happen?
I thought that I would get more of an insight to Civil Engineering (at least the technological aspect) to see whether or not it is a field I really am interested in pursuing after high school.
What did you expect to gain from an educational stand-point?
I felt that I would gain an introduction to understanding building plans as well as some terminology used by engineers.
What new knowledge did you hope to gain from this experience?
I really wanted to learn about what goes into modeling a building and all of the different structural aspects of a house.
What new relationships did you gain from this experience?
I was able to meet and work with my dad and get closer to him as we had to troubleshoot certain actions since he usually works on commercial buildings and his version of the software has some add-ons specifically for his work that weren't available to me.
How did you think you would benefit from your involvement?
I thought that I would benefit from this experience by solidifying my plans for the future that I would continue on a path to become a civil engineer.
