Blog #7

              So far in IQuest I have yet to get and internship. My interests are in either Computer Engineering or Civil Engineering because I am interested in both and hope to pursue a career in either of those topics.
The frustrations in this is that I have no intership so I am not able to further myself in these topics or in work experience either. I have done research on both of these careers and still am very interested in both.

              My book is called Pushing the limits, New adventures in Engineering by Henry Petroski.
The first 2 chapters in this book are called Art in Iron and Steel, and Bridges of America.
These first two chapters are describing the large structures around the world and the fascinating ways that they came to be. The purpose of this book is to explain the people's thoughts that went throught their heads in order to build these structures.
             I am really enjoying this book because it is explaining to me how everything I have been studying in school can be put and addressed into the real world and building the structures of the world.
