Wea Lt Appewd (Ws — Decoment Yeve Gabe (Lavoltww AT Pride Product Approval Form Esery HP 7 Submitted to Product Approval Committee Name Jason Andrew Perryman Date (s) submitted 10/12/2016 Research Topic / Area of Study Civil Engineering/ Geotechnical Engineering Connection to research paper Paper focused on the field of civil engineering which included the different disciplines within civil engineering. My mentor ‘was also the person I interviewed. Goal of product / what problem or | Drill soil samples and/or rock cores and design a proposal of need solved or addressed ‘what needs to happen to safely build on the site. The proposal will take into account soil samples, the rock cores, and will address what materials can be safely used to build the proposed structure. The rock core will be used to determine soil composition, strength of concrete and foundations needed to be used to support the structure in the type of soil. Estimated time to complete estimate that the project will take around a month to complete. This should provide enough time to achieve the required job site visits and development of a proposal. People who will assist (if applicable) | My mentor and workers on the job site. The workers will be doing the actual work of drilling as this is skilled labor. Estimated cost / investment It should not cost anything from me but might include a price point from the company that wants to build. ‘What will judges see at ‘An actual rock core sample and my proposal to the company presentation? (evidence of work _| along with a presentation. They will see a proposal that and development) discusses the method to evaluate what is required in the foundations to support a building or bridge. Personal stretch (area of growth) ¢ Thave no knowledge of soil composition or of rock samples. © No understanding of what is needed to support a building in soil besides basic knowledge. Product Description: I will be working with a professional engineer to take soil samples and/or rock cores and then design a proposal of what needs to be done to safely build a proposed structure on that site, I will use the samples to determine soil composition, strength of concrete and foundations needed to bbe used to support the planned structure. The product will not cost any money to complete, and I will be assisted by my mentor and so of the workers on the job site. I will present a rock core or soil sample and provide a proposal that discusses the way to evaluate what is required to be done to build. This project has a personal stretch as I do not have any knowledge of soil composition or of rock cores. | do not have any prior experience of what needs to be done to support a structure except for basic understanding so this project has a knowledge gap.
