Blog 13 - 10 Hour Mentorship Check-in

1.   Where are you doing your mentorship?

I am doing my mentorship at CMC Architect and Engineers in El Monte. 

2.   Who is your contact?  What makes this person an expert?

My contact is Mr. Chung, the big man of the firm. What makes him an expert is that he has been doing architecture for over 20+ years. 

3.   How many  hours have you done during the school year? (Summer Mentorship Hours and Mentorship Hours should be reflected separately in your Senior Project Hours log located on the right hand side of your blog).

I have completed about half of my school year mentorship hours. I have 28 hours. 

4.   Succinctly summarize what you did, how well you and your mentor worked together, and how you plan to complete the remaining hours.

I worked on programs (AutoCAD) and did some overlooking of plans. My mentor and I are pretty good to one another, there are no problems. I plan to complete my hours by continuing to go to his office and do more work he wants to give me. 

Blog 2 - Summer Mentorship

1. List the contact name, phone number, and organization of the person with whom you volunteered.

Mr. Chung (818-468-2505) at CMC Architects & Engineers

2. What qualified this person as an expert in your topic choice?

Mr. Chung has graduated an architecture school in Korea. He went to UCLA and has been in the architecture business for over 30 years. 

3. List three questions for further exploration now that you've completed your summer hours.

What is the business side of architecture? How stressful can architectural whether it is the business side or designing side? How would an independent architectural firm get more well known? 

4. What is the most important thing you gained from this experience? Why?

The most important thing I gained from my experience is knowledge about the field. This is important because it gives me an over view about the topic I chose and a possible career path that I could be interested in pursuing. 

5. What is your senior project topic going to be?  How did mentorship help you make your decision?  Please explain.

My senior topic is going to be on architecture. My mentorship did not have much of an influence of which topic I want to do on my senior project. I chose architecture because every other place I tried either rejected me or did not reply.
