The Senior Design
Yesterday morning, we did our presentation for senior design. This was the time that we show part of our past several week’s hard work for the project “Town Engineering Building Extension”. The presentation lasted about fifteen minutes and then the professors asked some questions to us. Evan and Jessica were speakers and everything got ready at 8:55am.Beside the power point and handouts, we also got the big architecture profile and new parking building drawing ready for presentation’s visual aids.
We dressed nice suits and pants, my team looks really cool. At first Jessica talked about the general situation including layout, estimation, lEEDs. She did great job; and she familiar most of the concerns were asked, or if she did not know, she also looks calm and saying “I have no idea” without any nervous. Then Evan talked structures and transportation. He did pretty well too! He was a little nervous though, since he was asked a lot of detailed questions like “why don’t you use pre- cast rather than cast in place concrete?” Dr. Larry is strict and he continuous asked question to us which covers estimation, structure, hydrology, architecture and geotechnical aspects. I had to answer how our drainage designed and fortunately it’s an very basic one! Finally we successfully get our task done. Yeah~~ We were really excited about that!
In those past days, I impressed by our hard working together. I impressed by the hard starting time; I impressive by those day and night struggling before every due week.Each of us had put a lot of efforts in it and we commutated a lot as a team! I felt happy got this done now, in this studying process, I had hard time and I learned; I asked and I understood; I complained and I insist on! CE485, happy to get this done!
