Hello my name is Robert Kellogg. I am seventeen years old and
a junior. I live in north Idaho in a small town call Bonners
Ferry. The reason for my entry in the K12 net is to communicate
with any fellow engineers out there. I guess I can't say I'm a
engineer yet, but I soon hope to be. The reason I got interested
in engineering is this summer I when I was working at restaurant I
was introduced to a man named Don Riechmuth. He owns a corporation
called Geomax.
Geomax is a corporation that works on river mechanics. They
engineer rivers that have problems with erosion. This summer when
I started working for them (It started out as computer service)
they were working on a local river called the Moyie. So ever sense
last summer I have been working for this company learning a lot on
the earth's structure and the plate movements. The neat thing
about this particular field you have to have three backgrounds to
understand all views.
They are Civil engineering, Biology, and Geology. I thing, in
fact I know this is going to be a major job needed in the future.
It is a job that has been needed for a long time, because in the
past there has been too many problems with Engineers, Biologists,
and Geologists arguing instead of working together. The reason
they always have there differences is that they don't understand
each others point of views.
So to anyone out there planing to go in to a engineering,
science, or geological field it wouldn't hurt to have a little of
all three in the back ground to understand your environment a
little better. I would really like to hear from some professionals
out there or people interested in your enviornment to see what you
thing of the new field.
