Quick check
Guess first, no penalty. A hiring manager for an engineering role asks how you use AI at work. What answer shows the most judgment?
Your final piece
Build a portfolio piece (a short piece of your own work that shows what you can do) from the made-up Cedar Mill notes below. Let AI draft, then check everything yourself.
Made up for this course. Cedar Mill pump station, for Ferrow Water Board.
Mon 9 Nov, site meeting. Pump P-2 is replaced with a Northline Pumps NP-40 (a made-up pump maker).
Test run, NP-40, 10:15 to 10:45: flow 44.2 l/s, discharge pressure 3.1 bar, no leaks seen. Readings at 10:30 were not taken.
Pipe runs on site: 2.4 m, 3.1 m and 1.7 m. The drawing note says all dimensions are in mm.
Drawing PS-07 shows pipe supports every 1.5 m. The site has room for 1.2 m near valve V-3. Ines Varga (designer, made up) hasn't answered yet.
The site gate is 2.9 m wide. The planned crane needs 3.2 m. Plan B is a smaller crane, and Omar (site engineer, made up) is checking its cost.
Omar suggested a second crane. Dana (project manager, made up) said she'd think about it.
Priya (site lead, made up) sends the test report by Thu 12 Nov. Dana is free Tue 10 Nov, 14:00 to 16:00 London time.
Specification section 1 names the design standard. Its edition isn't in these notes.
Hand in five parts: a test report from the readings, with missing readings shown as missing and the result left for the named engineer; a change request for the smaller crane, with your own cost and days and a written yes before the lift; an RFI to Ines Varga on the pipe support spacing, with a reply date; a site meeting summary, with owners and dates only as said; and a kit card for the request you used most.
