Blog #5 Project Reflection and Working EQ

(1) Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?
- After having to read the traffic signal book so many times I finally understand what most of the traffic signals mean and I do not feel lost. I learned how and why the traffic signals are located where they are. I always thought companies would put them where ever they felt like it.

(2) EQ Content:  Pick a piece of research or your interview.  How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?  
- A piece of research that has helped me understand this topic more clearly is " Transportation engineers are civil engineers who design highways, airports, and railway and bus systems'. I used to have an understanding that transportation engineers only worked with highways. This has opened my doors to new research.

(3) What has worked for you so far in the senior project?
- Something that has worked for me so far are the research checks. They have helped me understand my topic more in depth and have helped me understand that there are other branches in Transportation engineering.

(4) What hasn't worked so far?
- My mentors schedule has not helped me so far. I think that if I talk to him and tell him how important this is to me he will take this more serious and actually make time to work with me instead of just telling me what to do.

(5) Finding Value: 

(Working EQ) - How can a transportation engineer design a a comfortable means of public transportation in Los Angeles? 

What do you plan to do for mentor ship?
- I plan to help develop plans and programs for the use of land. I will also help create communities and accommodate growth.
