Through my years in high school, I have taken many engineering courses and have found that my passion lies within this field; but as engineering encompasses a myriad of categories, I have not even begun to scratch the surface. I have completed courses in general engineering, engineering drafting, math, and physics, which has given me a good base in engineering, but those have only given me the technical side of engineering. Lately, I have become quite interested in Civil Engineering; therefore I decided to take my endeavor in architecture. I will learn the design principles and concepts behind structures, and integrate my prior knowledge of material testing, 3D analysis, and fundamental engineering principles, to create a project that builds and expanse my horizon of knowledge.
The architecture work and design are a learning stretch for me as I have never done architecture before. Not only will I be learning to design in different software, Autodesk Revit, but I will be finding a way to get Revit and Inventor to communicate, increasing workflow. I will also have to do extensive research before the designing is even started. I will need to learn about insulation and the insulating of homes, and then apply the knowledge to insulating the container, as space requirements do not permit the use of standard housing insulation. I will also need to learn about housing foundations and come up with one that is suitable for the purpose at hand—considering the landscape being built on, stability, and move-ability This is just the beginning of what I will need to research, and these are only some of the topics I know that I need to research--who knows what I will find I will learn once I get started!
