I believed that this class was going to be related to the engineering process of how very old structures were built. It started out that way with the module about the Brooklyn bridge and San Francisco bridge. Learning the obstacles that they ran into and had to figure out ways around them. Also how the era that they were built in played a big influence on the materials that were used. What i didn’t think about was how social engineering was such a large influence on these structures. Engineering is all about inventing and improving ideas, whether it be on structures, machines or literally everything in the world.  I had never thought about how water is an engineering nightmare. Just figuring out how to get it to everybody that needs it, but also figuring out how to share it as fairly as possible while trying to follow the laws that have been put in place.
