As a Civil Engineering major, it is very exciting to have
the opportunity to research and develop this state of the art technology. With the guidance of such a distinguished and
qualified faculty member like Dr. Lattanzi, I am confident that this research
will enhance and enrich my education as well as be a valuable learning experience
for my future engineering career. This
experience has and continues to fuel my passion for research and development
and invention. Although I am still
uncertain as to what my future career holds, I am certain that this opportunity
will provide me with the groundwork to achieve a lifetime goal of becoming a
Professional Engineer and utilizing my skills to advance the positive impact
the engineering profession has on society.
Each week I continue to improve upon my drone flying skills
and work to recreate 3D models of a pedestrian footbridge on campus by means of
MeshLab, 123D Catch, etc. Along with 3D
modeling I continue to read journal articles and meet with Dr. Lattanzi weekly
to gain feedback and add to my knowledge of this field of study.
