Hello,
Regarding last week's discussion post on hydrology, I have a few general comments for the class:
Overall, very well done. It seems as though most students are making an effort to read and comprehend the articles they are choosing, and to make intelligent comments about them.
Remember that the main purpose of these discussions as a whole is to introduce you briefly to all of the main topics in the CAEE department. Not every topic will interest you, and that is ok. Try to gain a basic understanding of the topics you are not interested in, and don't be afraid to dig a little deeper into the ones that you do like.
If there is something you don't understand in your article, it can only help you to try researching and finding a little more information.
One thing to take away from this is that the work that Civil Engineers do is among the most taken for granted of any profession. Supplying potable water, removing waste, protecting entire cities from flooding, etc. are all incredible accomplishments that the public accept as normal, without a thought to how difficult a feat they truly are.
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
-Brad
