Re: Homework Help

Grab a 'yellow pages' phone book, that is the thing people used before the internet and look up engineering-architectural & civil.

Try to find a smaller firm and go in the front door, introduce yourself and smile and tell them what you need. Make your pitch right and there is very good chance you will get what you want. And when you make the pitch tell them it will take only a few minutes.

Along the way you can talk about robotics. If you are lucky you might even get a new mentor or sponsor. And if you smile and act interested they might even keep you around longer to learn more about FIRST.

It isn't very often a student acts interested in civil engineering (or any engineering) and they will most likely appreciate the interest.
