Project #1
I am currently in my first semester at City Tech. My name is Malik and my username is techpreneur. I choose the name because it goes well with my role as a student. I have interest in the manufacturing that comes with a Construction Management and Civil Engineering Technology degree and having my own engineering firm one-day. Being a construction site manager was one of my job choices because management at a construction site is an important role in the process and description.
As an elementary school kid they asked what would you like to be for a job description and FDNY, NYPD or a Doctor was not my focus because being a cop or fireman is risky and being a Doctor requires a lot of study time and years in school. So I considered other options that come with good pay but not as much time in school. Those jobs sometimes require methods of physical, drawing skill and math work. Drawings with many details describing buildings and private homes were good study tools but appearances have changed when I thoroughly did more observing. In depth I’m attracted to the arches, siding, roofing, and other textual differences that complete the design of the build. In NYC there is a constant operation of construction in progress. All over the boroughs and states everyday there is a construction site being worked on. With many engineers and architects out in this field of work, it is hard to claim a steady position.
After attending Holy Cross HS the responsibilities of being a man have been more vivid coming out of high school at 18 years old and its best to start at a young age to become a more experienced manager and worker in general. School is boring to me when nothing of my interest is involved but attending city tech, where my focus is framed towards my Construction technology major I have become tuned in with the schoolwork and institution itself. This is because I realized my schools principles and that in the field following my years of college; the effort I put in is what I get back in return. In five to ten years I see myself in a construction hard hat at 7am in the morning directing the team to their day stations. With the schedule in my hand along with the floor plan for the project. I hope to have finished my years at city tech with at least my bachelor’s degree and background knowledge of a construction manager.
Bob the builder was a show that I was introduced to at a young age. It was the concept of science, technology, engineering, and solving problems and getting things completed with a positive attitude. It shaped my personality for todays tasks in living. Accomplishing work with others is only possible when you can cooperate and be respectful to each other’s ideas and to use constructive criticism. It is a trait an individual has such as cooperation and discipline. Just like Bob in the avatar picture, I’m all ears and an unselfish listener. I do my best with what I have provided in front of me and with what I have access to.
The yellow hard hat represents the adversity that comes with the occupation out on the field sites to protect the head from injury due to falling objects, impact with other objects, debris, and weather conditions. Safety is very important at all times, so it is key to be observant. In the show Bob was a middle-aged man with construction overalls and wok boats that covered his full body, and his hands are full with tools for work but there is still a positive approach because of the smile on his face. Remaining enthusiastic during labor and showing up well prepared for work is a respectable and noticeable factor. Some traits are not suitable for all engineers or other employees on the work site but they all need teamwork to accomplish the construction in progress.
