"During the course of the semester, we have been on a number of field trips to many environments - natural and built - around SW Florida. For this journal entry, reflect on the field trip(s) that made the biggest impression on you. Did this field trip connect with or expand your sense of place? What did you experience or learn for the first time? How did this impact you for both the present and the future? Connect the experience to the readings and discussion from class. This reflection can be either positive or negative."
The field trip that had the biggest impact on me has to be ECHO. Most of the things that I've learned in my environmental engineering classes at FGCU were actually used in real-world sustainable applications that can be used in 3rd-world nations. It made me realize that I really did make the right decision in choosing my major, because my knowledge can be used to make significant positive impacts in this world. It also made me appreciate what I have and how certain parts of the world really need these innovative sustainable methods of water cleaning & food growth because they don't have the structure system to support what we have in the US. The most recent reading also reminded me of the field trip because both gave real tangible examples of environmental solutions for environmental problems
