Description

ANTIOCH, Calif. – U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Sacramento District senior electrical engineer John Parrish uses a 3-D scale model of the Folsom auxiliary dam spillway to demonstrate flood gate operations for students at Antioch High School here Jan. 31.

Parrish and structural design section chief Roger Zemba were invited to share stories of their educational and vocational backgrounds and explain the Corps’ various missions to more than 120 freshmen enrolled in the school’s four-year Academy of Engineering and Design for a Greener Environment (EDGE). The new academy incorporates a curriculum that links science and math education to engineering careers.

The plastic spillway model was created at the Sacramento district to aid engineers in construction of the project. It was loaned to the engineers for use at the event, to demonstrate to the students how precise the models can be using computers. “Computer technology has changed so much in engineering today,” said Parrish, who has been with the Corps since 1987. “These future engineers will learn a whole different skill set than I did as a student.”
