research proposal

Engineers are able to everyday build magnificent objects that people truly love. It can be a skyscraper, or even the newest prosthetic leg but both are the work of an engineer. In my research paper I am looking to explore the world of civil engineering and by doing so further my search into the career of building highways and railroads. I want to do this so I can better understand what it takes and what I need to accomplish on my way to my goal of becoming a civil engineer. I am going to do this by receiving a first hand account of what one must do in preparation and what one must do once already an engineer. This is made possible by my interview with assistant project manager Jean Sas. His personal experience and stories should help really build my paper with relevant facts and bolster my arguments and findings. Through this research paper I am going to explore the relationship the FDT (Federal department of transportation) has with engineering companies in Florida and specifically the de Moya group were Jean is the Assistant project manager. FDT is the part of the state government that is in charge on all infrastructure projects in the state of Florida. Which means that they handle the highways, bridges and basically anything that has to deal with transportation. Through the help of my findings I am going to be able to see what part of civil engineering I would like to be apart of.
