I honestly never would have thought that someone would ever chose civil engineering as a topic for a informative speech, in this Comm class. Civil Engineering was a very interesting topic to become more informed in due to everything that is involved with this topic, involving ourselves. Finding out how Civil Engineering ties in with every day life, from trees, buildings, rooms, and floors. I had no idea before how much it took to become a Civil Engineer, as well as all the math involved with this major, and the morality behind it.
As a class we all became informed on the four areas behind civil engineering, first structural, geo structural, water resources, and transportation. The structural part of civil engineering would be the planning …show more content…
For that reason I have never wanted to major or work in anything that involves me doing math for a living. I released that Daniel has taken mostly math classes for his major, in just his first year. In Daniels speech he not only got me thinking about his topic he also got me feeling as if I would have fun doing what he wants to be doing in the future, but after hearing the whole math part, that brought me back to earth. I don’t see this as a problem in Daniels speech I see this as a strength.
With this speech I feel it got all of us thinking about how civil engineering works, what classes are involved, how civil engineering ties in with the rest of everyday life, as well as the morality with it. He took us out and made me think about doing this great thing he was speaking about, and I feel that, that’s something a great speaker does with a great topic.
According to Douglas M. Fraleigh and Joseph S. Tuman in chapter nine of SPEAK page 273, “A signpost is a word or phrase within a sentence that help your audience understand your speech’s structure.” In this speech I heard mainly one signpost, towards the end of the speech, indicating that the speech was almost over. One improvement I would suggest would be to use more signposts, to help the audience follow along with the topic on hand. This would be especially helpful for people who have no prier history or knowledge of the …show more content…
This speech did exactly what it was meant to do, it informed us as a class the major of civil engineering as well as how this has to do with our every day lives. This topic really caught attention because of its relation to all of us. Also by informing us how much it takes to become a civil engineer, the morality behind it as well as all the very difficult classes that come along. Civil engineering as a topic may have seemed as a risk when I first started to hear the speech but it came out to be a very interesting and informative speech. The speech may have had at most two thing that may needed some help or clarification, but besides that I felt this speech was very strong and informative. What I felt connected to the most was in the beginning when the mention of Legos was given because I knew that this was something I would do as a child as well. This was a very good hook that got most of us thinking about the topic, as well as our child
