25. Becoming Engineers ~ Civil/E

Hey, Reader!

Today we’re reflecting on our engineering skills, by that, I mean that we’re working/constructing our own ideas in order to create something useful for our environment. For example: We’re building a bridge using recycling products like the wooden forks provided from the school lunches (we have a lot).

On Wednesday this week (Week 6), we had the option out of the 3 engineering types which were; Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, & Environmental Engineering. I was passionate about doing electrical engineering but the majority of people in my group decided to do Civil, kinda happy but I can’t see myself working collaboratively well. That was when my teacher allowed us to do both civil and electrical engineering, I didn’t know we could contribute to two at a time!

We’ve been given an engineering journal book and had to write our group name and design a book cover for it. In the book, we’ve recorded our plans and ideas inside for us to work around with.

Here’s what my group has designed for the book cover:

(I hope it’s visible enough)

And our plan is to build a stable and steady bridge with lights constructed within the rails of it, and that’s civil and electrical engineering combined. I proud of our book cover and bridge design and will keep you updated on when I’m done building with my group on my next post about engineering!
