Roof project

Last week our class worked on a project. we had to build a roof out of sandpaper, glue, cardboard, tissues, and popsicle sticks.

I learned that the glue burns when you get it on your hands. I liked using the glue guns and gluing things together. I didnt like it when i got glue on my hands or using the rounded popsicle sticks. If i were to do this differently, i would make sure everything was the same dimensions because the roof turned out a little curved.

Engineering career

The project that we just finished was about our career 10 years in the future. we had do describe our job, how we got there, and we had to interview a professional engineer(PE). I interviewed a PE at gaston engineering gaston@gastonengineering.com. I learned how much work it takes to become a PE and the benefeits of becoming a PE. I didnt like how difficult it was to find information about college courses. I would not do the project any differently.

Greek Revival Architecture

The past few days we have been working on a project in class. We had to build a model of the architectural style we chose.

I learned that the Greek revival style has a symmetrical shape, narrow windows, and a symmetrical shape. I liked making the pieces of the house, but gluing the pieces together was annoying because you had little time to set the pieces before the glue cooled down. if i could do it differently, i would have made it a bit smaller.
