Engineer For A Day
An event organized by ASCE-YMF
(American Society of Civil Engineers - Younger
Members Forum)
ASCE-YMF Member Rachel Andre, looks on as high
school students watch an index card and paper clip tower hold
10 FDOT Specification Books,two folders and a Toaster. The students
wanted to load the building until it failed and they were running
out of objects, so they had to use a toaster. This tower came
in second place, as it cost more to build it then another tower
that held the same amount of weight.
This event was held on February 20, 2004 at the
FDOT offices on Semoran Boulevard in the morning (approximately
140 students from eleven high schools attended). The students
then went to various local engineering firms where they had lunch
with practicing engineers and then spent the rest of the day shadowing
them to get a better idea of what engineers do.
