Day 1
My first day as an EIT with GP.

After taking care of pleasantries and administrative dealings, I met with Jeff Gould, EIT to discuss the project that I would be helping him with. We took a look at a number of single line diagrams and layouts for an Enbridge Substation in Herschel, SK. Using the layouts, I was to find the cable lengths using a ruler off of the scaled drawings for 33 cable lengths, and convert these into the right unit for input into the software we use - SKM Powertools. This took 5.5 hours.

Om Mondays at lunch, most of the engineering staff meet with Lance Grainger, P.Eng, the Principal Engineer here at GP, where we discuss, question, and are questioned about a certain topic. Today we discussed induction motor basics. Next week, we will go further into the topic. It took a little over an hour.
