QUT Excursion
Recently the school took an excursion up to QUT University in Brisbane to see the variety of things on offer for young women intending to study engineering after they graduate school. I found the experience really exciting as I was able to see and learn about a wide selection of new technology the university has acquired that has revolutionized the buildings degree of utility.
It was very interesting to learn about water filteration and the different types of engineering such as civil, environmental, medical and chemical engineering which are just a few different types of engineering. We learnt about different ways to intelligently construct structures such as with bridges. We learnt that each bridge has a purpose and therefore needs to be designed to that community's specific purpose. We learnt the different Safety requirements an engineer had to consider when constructing such buildings or bridges. Depending on the type of engineering your doing each structure can be built differently and can be built to achieve different purposes which makes engineering so exciting because there are so many different ways to build things. Attending QUT taught me that the possibilities in engineering are endless and each engineer is different.

Equipment I've used so far:
-Timber
-Plywood
-Aluminium Strip Blinds
-Blue cardboard
-plastic back of a computer screen
-plastic Christmas tree spine extension
-black Grip tape
-spray paint
-tooth picks
-Bamboo Sushi roll mat
-paddle pop sticks
-accessories from the craft shop; small trees and people
I have incorporated all these different feature into my sustainable resort for different elements. I tried very hard to get the similar texture and colour that the items in my resort would realistically have. I am quite pleased so far with the development of my building. I have done most of it at home as all the materials I have used came from home, which I think has allowed me to make the resort look more detailed and realistic as I have been able to utilize a wider variety of materials.
