Last Day

My last day on the job was the day I had looked most forward too of the entire week. For the first time, I was going to be able to go out in the field and do measurements like an actual engineer. When I got to the site, David took out a couple of instruments out of his car and placed them on the ground. One was a long pole that measured up to 25 feet and the other was a device that zoomed in on the pole at a certain point so it could get the elevation of the sidewalk. Then I would go around to different points and we would do the same thing over and over again so we would have many points to work with when doing measurements on slope and other such things. After doing the calculations, David and I discovered that the slope of the sidewalk was in accordance with city regulations, which meant a lot less work for the team. After lunch I came back and did some more filing, which was a little saddening, but I knew it was a part of the job so I got to work. When I finally finished it was that time to move on and so I said goodbye to everyone at the firm and said thank you for the experience that will help me in the future. That was my senior project for the week.
