What an amazing field trip! We toured the DLR Group’s
offices and learned about how engineers and architects work together to design
buildings. Their specialty is designing K-12 schools, but they also
design hotels, the KC Speedway, sports complexes, etc. The students even
saw how they use the Sketch-Up program to create 3-D models of their
designs. Then the students worked in small groups to design 3 different
rooms of a school and presented them to the group. As we ate pizza,
several of the employees came down and answered the students’ questions.
They talked about what they do each day, the education they needed, and
important skills (communication, meeting deadlines, and working with others)
they need to be successful in their jobs. I think we definitely have some
future architects and engineers in our class! J
