- 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.
