Repair and rehabilitation of wood utility poles with fibre-reinforced polymers:
Something really cool that I found out in this article was the new innovative ways that the professionals in my career choice are doing things now a days. They have found a way to continue using the same wooden poles for the electrical lines but have found a way to reinforce them into making them last longer and most importantly, a lot stronger and durable. Which helps make sure that its stable and reduces the risk of any accidents due to the poles. Also it can now carry more weight, thus now making it safer for the workers who repair and maintain it.

Blog 5 Project Reflection and working EQ
-Positive Statement: What positive thing happen as a result of what you have completed so far?
1.) One positive thing that has been the result of what Ive done so far is the fact that i wasn't so sure about my topic but thanks to O-Net and many of my other online articles, i have been given a variety of information from working hours to the labor and abilities one must presume in order to work in this career.
-EQ Content: Pick a piece of research or your interview. How has it helped you improve your understanding of your topic?
2.) One of my peices of research that was really helpful, was Career Planner.com because it was divided into 5 different parts, 1 Duties/task, 2 Activities, 3 skills, 4 Abilities, and 5 Knowledge/Experience. They all gave a different look in all those areas and now I know what to expect and what route to take so that I can best prepare myself.
-What has worked for you so far in the senior project?
3.) I have been able now take an in depth look into my topic, before I wasn't so sure and just had in mind but thanks to the research Ive found so far, it has still kept my interest.
-What hasn't worked so far?
4.) What hasn't really worked for me is that I haven't been able to exactly find what I need in my research, not all of my questions on this career have been answered but I know that throughout my mentor-ship I will be able to.
-Finding Value:
- I plan to go to my dads friend workplace, he works for LA Water and Power company and I want to go see what he does and also go observe other employers working in the field I'm studying.
