00:00:00.980 --> 00:00:01.600 align:middle line:90%
So, hi.

00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:02.140 align:middle line:90%
I'm Sara.

00:00:02.140 --> 00:00:03.904 align:middle line:84%
I'm a senior, majoring
in architecture,

00:00:03.904 --> 00:00:06.578 align:middle line:84%
with an emphasis in
civil engineering.

00:00:06.578 --> 00:00:11.438 align:middle line:84%
As Michael mentioned, I will be
presenting on The Little Things

00:00:11.438 --> 00:00:12.440 align:middle line:90%
in Architecture.

00:00:12.440 --> 00:00:15.590 align:middle line:84%
So this past summer,
I spent two months

00:00:15.590 --> 00:00:17.950 align:middle line:90%
interning with Dr. Ken Yeang.

00:00:17.950 --> 00:00:20.930 align:middle line:84%
He is an Asian architect and
pioneer in eco-architecture.

00:00:20.930 --> 00:00:24.525 align:middle line:84%
And I worked with him at his
firm, TR Hamzah and Yeang,

00:00:24.525 --> 00:00:27.966 align:middle line:84%
in Kuala Lumpur,
Malaysia, where I'm from.

00:00:27.966 --> 00:00:30.600 align:middle line:84%
So I got this internship
through a friend of mine

00:00:30.600 --> 00:00:33.310 align:middle line:84%
at Mount Holyoke who
is also Malaysian.

00:00:33.310 --> 00:00:36.044 align:middle line:84%
Her mom knew Ken
and put me through

00:00:36.044 --> 00:00:38.300 align:middle line:90%
and I applied and got it.

00:00:38.300 --> 00:00:40.220 align:middle line:90%
So that was great.

00:00:40.220 --> 00:00:42.620 align:middle line:90%
Went to Mount Holoyoke.

00:00:42.620 --> 00:00:45.295 align:middle line:84%
So this seems to be
a recurring theme,

00:00:45.295 --> 00:00:48.822 align:middle line:84%
but the first week
of my internship

00:00:48.822 --> 00:00:52.639 align:middle line:84%
was then trying to develop the
digital skills that I would

00:00:52.639 --> 00:00:53.930 align:middle line:90%
need throughout the internship.

00:00:53.930 --> 00:00:55.780 align:middle line:84%
So at Mount Holyoke,
we're supposed

00:00:55.780 --> 00:00:58.330 align:middle line:84%
to Rhino and 3D
modeling software

00:00:58.330 --> 00:01:01.570 align:middle line:84%
and Adobe Illustrator, which is
more of a vector-based program.

00:01:01.570 --> 00:01:05.350 align:middle line:84%
But at TRHY I got
to learn AutoCAD.

00:01:05.350 --> 00:01:08.582 align:middle line:84%
And this is one of the
first projects that I did.

00:01:08.582 --> 00:01:13.165 align:middle line:84%
So the project is I-Care, a care
and rehabilitation facility.

00:01:13.165 --> 00:01:16.771 align:middle line:84%
And my task was to draft sort
of the typical ward layouts

00:01:16.771 --> 00:01:20.050 align:middle line:90%
to be shown to clients.

00:01:20.050 --> 00:01:23.070 align:middle line:84%
Besides doing
architectural intern stuff,

00:01:23.070 --> 00:01:26.620 align:middle line:90%
I also worked with publication.

00:01:26.620 --> 00:01:28.880 align:middle line:90%
So this the Roof Roof House.

00:01:28.880 --> 00:01:30.390 align:middle line:90%
It's Ken's own house.

00:01:30.390 --> 00:01:31.550 align:middle line:90%
He self-designed it.

00:01:31.550 --> 00:01:33.396 align:middle line:84%
It's down the street
from the office.

00:01:33.396 --> 00:01:35.300 align:middle line:90%
And it was completed in 1985.

00:01:35.300 --> 00:01:40.630 align:middle line:84%
So in 1985, most of the drawings
and documentation was by hand.

00:01:40.630 --> 00:01:44.200 align:middle line:84%
So my task was to
digitalize that.

00:01:44.200 --> 00:01:47.410 align:middle line:84%
And I came up with this
section, included details

00:01:47.410 --> 00:01:49.870 align:middle line:84%
like where the
sun path would be,

00:01:49.870 --> 00:01:52.035 align:middle line:84%
and the wind coming
through the building.

00:01:52.035 --> 00:01:55.330 align:middle line:84%
And this rendering
ended up being

00:01:55.330 --> 00:02:00.410 align:middle line:84%
used in a magazine publication
about the Roof Roof House.

00:02:00.410 --> 00:02:03.080 align:middle line:84%
I also got to go on a
site visit to Putrajaya

00:02:03.080 --> 00:02:04.520 align:middle line:90%
2C5, another project.

00:02:04.520 --> 00:02:08.200 align:middle line:84%
It's a mixed development
that gives space for offices

00:02:08.200 --> 00:02:10.180 align:middle line:90%
and commercial spaces.

00:02:10.180 --> 00:02:14.900 align:middle line:84%
So during the site visit, I took
pictures and I made a drawing.

00:02:14.900 --> 00:02:17.620 align:middle line:84%
And those photographs
ended up being used

00:02:17.620 --> 00:02:21.372 align:middle line:90%
for submissions for awards.

00:02:21.372 --> 00:02:23.170 align:middle line:84%
But the bulk of
my internship was

00:02:23.170 --> 00:02:25.940 align:middle line:84%
spent drafting
architectural schedules.

00:02:25.940 --> 00:02:29.144 align:middle line:84%
So, architectural schedules
are a detailed list

00:02:29.144 --> 00:02:32.552 align:middle line:84%
of architectural components
that coordinate with drawings

00:02:32.552 --> 00:02:36.070 align:middle line:84%
that an architect
would already have.

00:02:36.070 --> 00:02:37.805 align:middle line:84%
And during my time
there, I was put

00:02:37.805 --> 00:02:40.490 align:middle line:84%
in charge of the supplies
and finish schedules

00:02:40.490 --> 00:02:43.780 align:middle line:84%
for one of residential
projects, the G- Residences.

00:02:43.780 --> 00:02:47.580 align:middle line:84%
It's a high-rise,
40-story project.

00:02:47.580 --> 00:02:50.390 align:middle line:84%
And I worked on the schedules
for doors, Ironmongery,

00:02:50.390 --> 00:02:51.610 align:middle line:90%
and door finishes.

00:02:51.610 --> 00:02:54.164 align:middle line:84%
So this is an example of
one of the door schedules.

00:02:54.164 --> 00:02:56.810 align:middle line:84%
As you can see, there
are the different types

00:02:56.810 --> 00:02:59.160 align:middle line:84%
of doors that would
be in the building.

00:02:59.160 --> 00:03:03.296 align:middle line:84%
And then here is kind of a
list of all the different door

00:03:03.296 --> 00:03:05.065 align:middle line:84%
types that correspond
with the drawings,

00:03:05.065 --> 00:03:07.940 align:middle line:84%
the description
of the materials,

00:03:07.940 --> 00:03:11.460 align:middle line:84%
how many door leafs the
door has, what size,

00:03:11.460 --> 00:03:15.730 align:middle line:84%
what the sizes are, and then
the location of these doors--

00:03:15.730 --> 00:03:18.580 align:middle line:84%
so female toilets, in the
living, outdoor play area--

00:03:18.580 --> 00:03:20.724 align:middle line:84%
and then quantity
of the doors that

00:03:20.724 --> 00:03:23.540 align:middle line:90%
would be in the whole building.

00:03:23.540 --> 00:03:27.070 align:middle line:84%
I also liaised a lot
with product suppliers.

00:03:27.070 --> 00:03:28.790 align:middle line:84%
So the whole process
basically was

00:03:28.790 --> 00:03:31.390 align:middle line:84%
I would get a list of
architectural components

00:03:31.390 --> 00:03:33.270 align:middle line:90%
from the quantity surveyor.

00:03:33.270 --> 00:03:35.090 align:middle line:84%
And a quantity
surveyor is someone

00:03:35.090 --> 00:03:40.490 align:middle line:84%
who is very well versed
with costs and budgets

00:03:40.490 --> 00:03:43.076 align:middle line:84%
and how much of this do
we need in a building.

00:03:43.076 --> 00:03:45.149 align:middle line:90%
And so I would get that list.

00:03:45.149 --> 00:03:47.690 align:middle line:84%
And if I didn't, I would
go through the floor-plans

00:03:47.690 --> 00:03:49.842 align:middle line:90%
and create one myself.

00:03:49.842 --> 00:03:52.780 align:middle line:84%
And then I would look through
our library of catalogs

00:03:52.780 --> 00:03:57.620 align:middle line:84%
for different products of
finishes, products or finishes

00:03:57.620 --> 00:04:01.650 align:middle line:84%
from different brands that are
available to us in Malaysia

00:04:01.650 --> 00:04:05.746 align:middle line:84%
and then pick products that I
thought would the project best.

00:04:05.746 --> 00:04:08.175 align:middle line:84%
And then from there,
I would create a list

00:04:08.175 --> 00:04:11.530 align:middle line:84%
and then send it out and
contact suppliers to set up

00:04:11.530 --> 00:04:13.520 align:middle line:90%
meetings with the designers.

00:04:13.520 --> 00:04:16.290 align:middle line:84%
So I got to sit in on
a lot of these meetings

00:04:16.290 --> 00:04:19.809 align:middle line:84%
and it was a very interesting
process listening to them talk

00:04:19.809 --> 00:04:21.860 align:middle line:84%
and listening to them
explain and try to sell you

00:04:21.860 --> 00:04:23.490 align:middle line:90%
their product as well.

00:04:23.490 --> 00:04:26.540 align:middle line:84%
And then after these meetings,
I would maintain correspondence

00:04:26.540 --> 00:04:29.284 align:middle line:84%
with them so I could get
quotes for these products

00:04:29.284 --> 00:04:31.871 align:middle line:84%
that we would ultimately
choose at the end.

00:04:31.871 --> 00:04:38.820 align:middle line:84%
So this is a little bit of
the sanitary-ware supply sheet

00:04:38.820 --> 00:04:42.262 align:middle line:84%
that I created
during my time there.

00:04:42.262 --> 00:04:44.870 align:middle line:84%
So I would get from
the quantity surveyor

00:04:44.870 --> 00:04:48.978 align:middle line:84%
a list of the things that we
need, and then a quantity,

00:04:48.978 --> 00:04:51.720 align:middle line:90%
and how many we'd need.

00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:54.180 align:middle line:84%
So I would go and
look through catalogs,

00:04:54.180 --> 00:04:56.560 align:middle line:84%
pick products, list out
their specifications,

00:04:56.560 --> 00:04:58.960 align:middle line:84%
and then send this
back to the suppliers

00:04:58.960 --> 00:05:00.930 align:middle line:90%
to be like, hey, if i want.

00:05:00.930 --> 00:05:02.920 align:middle line:84%
20 of this, how much
is it going to cost?

00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:04.670 align:middle line:84%
Can I get it for a
cheaper price since I'm

00:05:04.670 --> 00:05:10.640 align:middle line:84%
doing it for a project and I'm
not buying individual pieces?

00:05:10.640 --> 00:05:13.605 align:middle line:84%
So I did many
iterations of this and I

00:05:13.605 --> 00:05:15.476 align:middle line:84%
think by the end
of my internship,

00:05:15.476 --> 00:05:18.841 align:middle line:84%
I was very well versed in the
different brands of toilet

00:05:18.841 --> 00:05:21.015 align:middle line:90%
bowls that we had [INAUDIBLE].

00:05:21.015 --> 00:05:21.981 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:05:21.981 --> 00:05:24.684 align:middle line:84%
But yeah, another fun
thing that I got to do

00:05:24.684 --> 00:05:26.086 align:middle line:84%
is I got to go to
ARCHIDEX, which

00:05:26.086 --> 00:05:29.194 align:middle line:84%
is an annual exhibition
that's held and organized

00:05:29.194 --> 00:05:32.878 align:middle line:84%
by the Malaysian Institute of
Architects during the Kuala

00:05:32.878 --> 00:05:34.750 align:middle line:90%
Lumpur Architecture Festival.

00:05:34.750 --> 00:05:38.807 align:middle line:84%
It's an exhibition with
booths for products suppliers

00:05:38.807 --> 00:05:42.016 align:middle line:84%
and sell us their products,
and aimed primarily

00:05:42.016 --> 00:05:43.350 align:middle line:90%
at architects and designers.

00:05:43.350 --> 00:05:45.837 align:middle line:84%
They also open it up to
contractors and students.

00:05:45.837 --> 00:05:49.880 align:middle line:84%
But I was very lucky to be
able to go as part of the firm.

00:05:49.880 --> 00:05:55.025 align:middle line:84%
And that's a picture of me
after many hours of shopping

00:05:55.025 --> 00:05:59.330 align:middle line:90%
and my many bags of brochures.

00:05:59.330 --> 00:06:01.590 align:middle line:84%
So throughout this
whole process,

00:06:01.590 --> 00:06:03.580 align:middle line:84%
my colleagues were
constantly asking me, Sara,

00:06:03.580 --> 00:06:04.980 align:middle line:90%
don't you want design?

00:06:04.980 --> 00:06:07.640 align:middle line:84%
Don't you want to incorporate
some sort of design element

00:06:07.640 --> 00:06:08.830 align:middle line:90%
into your internship?

00:06:08.830 --> 00:06:11.670 align:middle line:84%
You've been doing a lot
of making Excel sheets,

00:06:11.670 --> 00:06:13.128 align:middle line:90%
talking to suppliers?

00:06:13.128 --> 00:06:16.185 align:middle line:84%
To which I say, there's
so much opportunity

00:06:16.185 --> 00:06:18.350 align:middle line:90%
to design in Mount Holyoke.

00:06:18.350 --> 00:06:21.820 align:middle line:84%
There's always a chance for me
to improve my design thinking

00:06:21.820 --> 00:06:23.930 align:middle line:90%
through Mount Holyoke Studios.

00:06:23.930 --> 00:06:26.570 align:middle line:84%
And at school we
design for thoughts.

00:06:26.570 --> 00:06:28.800 align:middle line:84%
We think about
programming of rooms.

00:06:28.800 --> 00:06:31.740 align:middle line:84%
We think about how to orient
spaces based on sun paths

00:06:31.740 --> 00:06:32.890 align:middle line:90%
and things like that.

00:06:32.890 --> 00:06:35.480 align:middle line:84%
But we don't really
think the smaller details

00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:39.590 align:middle line:84%
and how that could impact
someone's experiences in space.

00:06:39.590 --> 00:06:43.535 align:middle line:84%
And I like to use this example
of the different doorknobs

00:06:43.535 --> 00:06:44.900 align:middle line:90%
and door handles.

00:06:44.900 --> 00:06:47.000 align:middle line:84%
So on the right,
you have a doorknob.

00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:51.110 align:middle line:84%
And on the left, you
have a door handle.

00:06:51.110 --> 00:06:53.585 align:middle line:84%
And how you open a door
with those different

00:06:53.585 --> 00:06:56.710 align:middle line:84%
handles changes the
experience that you have.

00:06:56.710 --> 00:06:59.270 align:middle line:84%
And things like putting
a handle on a door

00:06:59.270 --> 00:07:02.495 align:middle line:84%
would require you to pull
it, versus not having it

00:07:02.495 --> 00:07:03.470 align:middle line:90%
would make you push it.

00:07:03.470 --> 00:07:07.020 align:middle line:84%
So that changes how you would
go through and experience

00:07:07.020 --> 00:07:08.162 align:middle line:90%
the space.

00:07:08.162 --> 00:07:10.700 align:middle line:84%
And through this, I
realized that architecture

00:07:10.700 --> 00:07:13.890 align:middle line:84%
might vary across
countries and cultures

00:07:13.890 --> 00:07:17.050 align:middle line:84%
in terms of the
approaches and the styles.

00:07:17.050 --> 00:07:20.330 align:middle line:84%
But something that remains a
constant is the little things.

00:07:20.330 --> 00:07:23.850 align:middle line:84%
When you design a bathroom,
you're going to need a sink.

00:07:23.850 --> 00:07:25.740 align:middle line:84%
When you have a
door, you're going

00:07:25.740 --> 00:07:28.690 align:middle line:84%
to need some way to
open it and close it.

00:07:28.690 --> 00:07:30.530 align:middle line:84%
Even like the sockets,
power sockets,

00:07:30.530 --> 00:07:33.730 align:middle line:84%
the fact that it's
painted that dark brown

00:07:33.730 --> 00:07:37.665 align:middle line:84%
was a conscious decision to
draw your attention to it

00:07:37.665 --> 00:07:38.873 align:middle line:90%
and show you that it's there.

00:07:38.873 --> 00:07:42.700 align:middle line:84%
And it's all these little things
that sort of make or break

00:07:42.700 --> 00:07:43.924 align:middle line:90%
architecture.

00:07:43.924 --> 00:07:45.260 align:middle line:90%
So what's next for me?

00:07:45.260 --> 00:07:48.692 align:middle line:84%
This semester I'm taking
a class on AutoCAD

00:07:48.692 --> 00:07:50.850 align:middle line:84%
at U Mass under
their BCT department,

00:07:50.850 --> 00:07:54.824 align:middle line:84%
sometimes just to keep myself
going with the program.

00:07:54.824 --> 00:07:58.030 align:middle line:84%
And then I'm also pursuing
an independent study

00:07:58.030 --> 00:07:59.592 align:middle line:84%
with Michael, that
might hopefully

00:07:59.592 --> 00:08:02.380 align:middle line:84%
lead to a thesis on the
influence of materiality

00:08:02.380 --> 00:08:04.432 align:middle line:90%
on architecture.

00:08:04.432 --> 00:08:08.715 align:middle line:84%
And then after graduation, I've
decided that I want to work.

00:08:08.715 --> 00:08:10.590 align:middle line:84%
I don't want to go to
grad school right away.

00:08:10.590 --> 00:08:12.502 align:middle line:84%
Ken has been very
generous to say

00:08:12.502 --> 00:08:15.850 align:middle line:84%
that, hey, when you're done,
come back if you want to,

00:08:15.850 --> 00:08:18.021 align:middle line:90%
so I have that going for me.

00:08:18.021 --> 00:08:22.110 align:middle line:84%
And then hopefully within a
year I'll be in grad school.

00:08:22.110 --> 00:08:24.070 align:middle line:90%
So thank you.

00:08:24.070 --> 00:08:27.010 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:08:27.010 --> 00:08:33.860 align:middle line:90%


00:08:33.860 --> 00:08:34.360 align:middle line:90%
Question?

00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:38.770 align:middle line:90%


00:08:38.770 --> 00:08:40.240 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:08:40.240 --> 00:08:43.180 align:middle line:90%
[? Not fast enough. ?]

00:08:43.180 --> 00:08:44.650 align:middle line:90%
It was perfect.

00:08:44.650 --> 00:08:46.522 align:middle line:90%
[LAUGHTER]

00:08:46.522 --> 00:08:47.022 align:middle line:90%
Yes.

00:08:47.022 --> 00:08:47.850 align:middle line:90%
Hello.

00:08:47.850 --> 00:08:51.540 align:middle line:84%
Were there any challengers
that you experienced

00:08:51.540 --> 00:08:56.315 align:middle line:84%
that you'd like to maybe share
and how you overcame them when

00:08:56.315 --> 00:08:57.630 align:middle line:90%
you were in your internship?

00:08:57.630 --> 00:08:58.130 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:08:58.130 --> 00:09:00.190 align:middle line:84%
I think for me, talking
about all these things

00:09:00.190 --> 00:09:02.880 align:middle line:90%
now, having gone through, is OK.

00:09:02.880 --> 00:09:05.180 align:middle line:84%
But I think at the
beginning, [INAUDIBLE],, hey,

00:09:05.180 --> 00:09:07.202 align:middle line:84%
can you contact
suppliers with this,

00:09:07.202 --> 00:09:10.450 align:middle line:84%
can you make a sheet
of this, I was very--

00:09:10.450 --> 00:09:12.077 align:middle line:84%
it was out of my
element completely,

00:09:12.077 --> 00:09:13.410 align:middle line:90%
because I was so used to design.

00:09:13.410 --> 00:09:17.570 align:middle line:84%
And having to go
through all of this

00:09:17.570 --> 00:09:20.550 align:middle line:84%
was an eye-opening
experience for me.

00:09:20.550 --> 00:09:22.430 align:middle line:84%
It was challenging
in the beginning,

00:09:22.430 --> 00:09:25.100 align:middle line:84%
but I feel like my
colleagues at TRHY

00:09:25.100 --> 00:09:27.272 align:middle line:84%
were very, very
helpful in a sense,

00:09:27.272 --> 00:09:29.599 align:middle line:84%
where they would sit
me down and be like,

00:09:29.599 --> 00:09:31.015 align:middle line:84%
hey, do you need
help with this, I

00:09:31.015 --> 00:09:33.566 align:middle line:84%
can show you where you
can find this information,

00:09:33.566 --> 00:09:35.518 align:middle line:90%
and things like that.

00:09:35.518 --> 00:09:39.422 align:middle line:90%


00:09:39.422 --> 00:09:40.890 align:middle line:90%
Hi.

00:09:40.890 --> 00:09:42.940 align:middle line:84%
I was thinking of your
presentation in relation

00:09:42.940 --> 00:09:44.890 align:middle line:90%
to Ruth's.

00:09:44.890 --> 00:09:47.760 align:middle line:84%
She showed the sort
of wonderful overview

00:09:47.760 --> 00:09:50.040 align:middle line:90%
and you're taking us so close.

00:09:50.040 --> 00:09:52.310 align:middle line:84%
And I was wondering what
might be difference.

00:09:52.310 --> 00:09:56.180 align:middle line:90%
Is there a way in which--

00:09:56.180 --> 00:10:00.350 align:middle line:84%
I see that there's a possibility
of exploring architecture

00:10:00.350 --> 00:10:03.200 align:middle line:84%
as a tactile thing from
your point of view.

00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:03.700 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:10:03.700 --> 00:10:05.790 align:middle line:84%
And I thought if
that occurred to you.

00:10:05.790 --> 00:10:08.232 align:middle line:84%
So when you're making
that beautiful example

00:10:08.232 --> 00:10:10.591 align:middle line:84%
you gave of the
handle, you're actually

00:10:10.591 --> 00:10:12.410 align:middle line:84%
thinking of
architecture as a kind

00:10:12.410 --> 00:10:15.955 align:middle line:90%
of physical, material thing.

00:10:15.955 --> 00:10:16.705 align:middle line:90%
Mm-hmm.

00:10:16.705 --> 00:10:19.840 align:middle line:84%
And is it less
visual or more visual

00:10:19.840 --> 00:10:21.670 align:middle line:90%
or different from visual?

00:10:21.670 --> 00:10:26.090 align:middle line:84%
I think it's less visual, just
because it's so experiential.

00:10:26.090 --> 00:10:29.127 align:middle line:84%
You don't really think about all
these things that you're doing.

00:10:29.127 --> 00:10:31.418 align:middle line:84%
If you're opening the door,
you're not really thinking,

00:10:31.418 --> 00:10:33.018 align:middle line:90%
oh, I'm going to turn the knob.

00:10:33.018 --> 00:10:34.389 align:middle line:90%
It's just something that you do.

00:10:34.389 --> 00:10:37.590 align:middle line:84%
And it's all-- like it comes
together with materiality

00:10:37.590 --> 00:10:39.550 align:middle line:90%
and how that feels.

00:10:39.550 --> 00:10:41.510 align:middle line:84%
And I think that's
also something

00:10:41.510 --> 00:10:44.450 align:middle line:84%
that I'm trying to explore
through my independent study

00:10:44.450 --> 00:10:47.880 align:middle line:84%
on materiality and how that
influences architecture

00:10:47.880 --> 00:10:48.860 align:middle line:90%
as a whole.

00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:50.320 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:10:50.320 --> 00:10:50.820 align:middle line:90%
Sure.

00:10:50.820 --> 00:10:53.270 align:middle line:90%
Thank you.

00:10:53.270 --> 00:11:00.370 align:middle line:84%
Were your engineering studies
helpful in your internship,

00:11:00.370 --> 00:11:03.480 align:middle line:84%
or did you bring a different
kind of sensibility

00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:07.590 align:middle line:84%
from the engineering studies
that you found that you drew on

00:11:07.590 --> 00:11:11.740 align:middle line:90%
in your daily tasks?

00:11:11.740 --> 00:11:14.280 align:middle line:84%
So with my Nexus in
engineering, I've

00:11:14.280 --> 00:11:17.720 align:middle line:84%
taken classes with U
Mass' BCT department.

00:11:17.720 --> 00:11:21.310 align:middle line:84%
So last semester I took one
on construction materials

00:11:21.310 --> 00:11:22.636 align:middle line:90%
and methods.

00:11:22.636 --> 00:11:25.690 align:middle line:84%
And I didn't really
get to bring that here,

00:11:25.690 --> 00:11:28.190 align:middle line:90%
but I feel like that's--

00:11:28.190 --> 00:11:31.578 align:middle line:84%
I don't think I brought
much from that engineering

00:11:31.578 --> 00:11:35.925 align:middle line:84%
into the internship, but I feel
like taking from that-- taking

00:11:35.925 --> 00:11:39.420 align:middle line:84%
away from that, there's
a lot more that I'm

00:11:39.420 --> 00:11:42.120 align:middle line:84%
able to do now within
that engineering spectrum

00:11:42.120 --> 00:11:45.520 align:middle line:84%
because of what I learned
during my internship.

00:11:45.520 --> 00:11:46.020 align:middle line:90%
Yeah.

00:11:46.020 --> 00:11:48.720 align:middle line:90%


00:11:48.720 --> 00:11:49.920 align:middle line:90%
[INAUDIBLE]

00:11:49.920 --> 00:11:51.720 align:middle line:90%
Yay.

00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:54.770 align:middle line:90%
[APPLAUSE]

00:11:54.770 --> 00:11:57.526 align:middle line:90%
