Hesston Pump Station Project

This week was a fairly simple week. I continued to work on the Hess pump station by placing electrical equipment and mechanical equipment. By Thursday, I had this completed and began to work on a new project for the Ronald McDonald House. For this project I will be copying the lighting system from the first floor plans to the second floor plan. The rough part of the week was my health. I did not feel very good the whole week, but I pushed through and completed the tasks that were assigned to me.

Since I did not feel very good and I had a lot of work, which made me work slow, I failed to complete all of my goals. The first goal that I did meet was the completion of the Hess pump station. I had been working on this project for several days, but I finally finished it this week. Another goal I met was for my semester project. It was to schedule a meeting with Andale Elementary to talk about our invention fair. The question I asked my mentor this week was: what was the most difficult part about the engineering program? He responded with, "the math classes because most of them were taught by professors who did not speak English as their first language. It made learning concepts very difficult." The goals I failed to meet were learning five new electrical terms and schedule a date for the science fair. The five new electrical terms goal was not met because I worked on the same project from the previous week, so I was not exposed to new terms. The date for the science fair was not met because Ethan, my partner, and I did not get the chance to talk to each school about the day that works best for them. I hope I can achieve all five of my goals next week.
