My Growing Eye for Engineering


My knowledge for Civil Engineering is growing everyday. I've recently picked up the habit of looking for the formation of puddles at intersections while I drive while also looking for inlets for water removal. I mainly notice that a lot of places have natural water removal while others have potholes that fill with water or are naturally sloped on a slant where the water will flow and sit until it evaporates. This habit just appeared and I am now noticing it. I also tend to look for how the layout of intersections suit the flow of the infrastructure. The markings left by surveyors catch my eye whenever I walk down a street or pass by a new development. I believe that the more I study and observe what Charlie looks for and how he identifies problems, the more I become adept at developing my skills.

  1. I feel you. As a teacher, I look at the world through "teacher eyes." Every single day brings me more information about my profession.
