Civil Engineering by Shorty Garcia https://padlet.com/shorty2255555/o7igpwtndroc Career Research Project en-us 2018-09-12 02:11:36 UTC 2018-09-12 03:16:55 UTC hello@padlet.com Why This Career Is Meant For Me shorty2255555 https://padlet.com/shorty2255555/o7igpwtndroc/wish/280166802 Civil engineering is right for me for a few different reasons. To begin with my first few years of high school I took three classes of engineering to get the mind set of the work. Not only that, but I am also good at mathematics and physics. Another reason is that I find engineering fascinating to which I will always have fun with. ]]> 2018-09-12 02:14:27 UTC https://padlet.com/shorty2255555/o7igpwtndroc/wish/280166802 Education shorty2255555 https://padlet.com/shorty2255555/o7igpwtndroc/wish/280166983 Georgia Tech https://www.gatech.edu/
