DESIGN BRIEF
The Career Research Project was the very first project I did in the class. The goal was to choose a career in some type of engineering, look up schools or apprenticeships, and put all that information on to a poster.
OUTCOME
My Career Research Project was a failure. I chose to research a commercial electrician, but accidentally included information about electrical engineers in my project. I should have been researching trade schools, apprenticeships, and other ways I could become an electrician. Instead, I was looking at ways to become an Electrical Engineer. Becoming an Electrical Engineer requires college, unlike an electrician.
MAJOR TAKEAWAYS
-My major takeaway was that becoming an electrician does not require a four-year college.
-Another major takeaway I had was checking over all data before turning in a project or paper. If I would have gone back through and double checked all my facts, I might have been able to eliminate misinformation on my poster. My poster ended up being very confusing and loaded with false information.

Above is my concept for the poster. During the construction of my poster I went off track and made a whole new layout, but I still had an idea of where to place things.
