This week
was a rather relaxed week, but I am preparing for another weekend full of
homework. On Monday, we met with Mrs. Southerland to talk about last weeks blog
and first research paper. While reading the article for the first research
paper, I learned a whole lot about the rail gun that I have never heard before.
This new information blew me away with how capable the gun really is. On
Tuesday, I asked both of the engineering teachers at MHS if they had any
contacts in the engineering field, and I managed to get 11 names from them.
Then today, I went onto the Allen and Plano staff directory and found another
14 names of engineers in the area to expand my list to 25 names! Tomorrow I plan
on writing my interview questions in class so I can get a head start on my
homework for the weekend.
During my
engineering class today however, we also happened to have a Civil Engineer come
and talk to us about what he does in his day to day life. I learned a lot from
his hour and a half long speech and it made me excited to get into the work
force in a couple of years.
