Was this company a good match for your interests?
I was able to see what hydrological and environmental/geotechnical designers do when they are employed commercially.           

What were some of the topics or ideas discussed?
How to read cite plans, how Manhard is organized and operates, the importance of legal issues in construction management, and how computers are used in presentation, analyses, and surveying.

Were there any special activities planned for you?
They took the time to show me around to almost all of the different engineering and surveying work done in the firm, and they also found some old plans that were closer to my own interests than some of the more current work.  They even took me out to a nice lunch.

Would you recommend this program to other students?
Definitely.  It really puts engineering classes into perspective.

Comments/Suggestions:
An interesting and exciting experience, especially if your home and not working over break.
