October 2012
We visited HDR Architecture and Engineering to learn about all of the different careers and design opportunities that exist in an Architecture firm. During our visit to HDR we learned about the things civil engineers must consider.  We learned that one of the major issues for a civil engineer is keeping the water table clean for all living things.  While talking to the architect we learned the importance of blueprints, models, and renderings in the construction process.  In the marketing department we learned how important it is for a firm like HDR to promote their design work.  We also had the opportunity to visit a working construction site where we were able to talk to contractors about their work.  As we talked to the contractor, we learned how long it takes to create a 23 story building from the ground up as well as how they get super sized materials to the top floors as they work.  For all of the engineering design professionals we met we learned how much schooling was necessary, where they studied, and what they studied in school.  It was a very enlightening trip!
