Career Pathway Area of Interest
General Construction
Narrowed Topic
Framing
Essential question
What does it take to be an effective worker in the field of construction today?
Project Showcase/Description
Me and my assistant along with the judges and participants will be constructing(Framing more specifically) an 8ft by 8ft window wall, and I will then congratulate them on their first wall they built after that I will take a picture and enjoy some doughnuts at the end.
1. What personal interest do you have in this topic? Why have you chosen this project for your Senior Project/Showcase?
The reason I took an interest in construction is because after high school I want to start my own business. I want to start off as a worker and make my way up, save money, and start the business and invest in it.
2. What research questions will you seek to answer? What kind of sources might you look for?
I will seek to answer a few things, one being what to know/expect when you go into the field of construction. Another one being what kind of mindset is needed when starting construction. I will seek to find someone who is in construction and knows firsthand experience how it is.
3. Who is a person (Specifically or in general) with experience or expertise in this field you might interview? What understanding do you hope to gain from this person?
I may ask someone who is either in that field or someone whose been a supervisor in that field. I hope to understand what mindset is needed and what can be done to further improve the worker experience.
4. What situations, events or places could you observe or experience to gain insight into your topic?
There are plenty of situation, events and places I could observe or gain experience. For example at a Construction Site, House, School, pretty much anywhere renovations are being done.
5. What challenges might you encounter with your research or project? What assistance or tools will you need to overcome them?
Make/do a good example, miscalculations happen and its always good to have someone to confirm their correct. I could also practice more on my mathematics and for my research good examples to draw from.
6. What other questions or concerns do you have about your Senior Capstone Project at this time?
I don't know if I'll be perfectly fine, I feel as though I'll lose my train of thought, I plan on practice with cards to have the presentation flow smoothly when it comes down to it.
