Author's Note: The composition of the Ethnography piece is rather simple. I chose the picture slideshow to provide links to each of the individual topics because it would have been entirely too much to read if it was all on the same page. Creating separate pages for each of the four topics made the page more interactive and interactiveness kind of ties in to engineering. The page background is pink/red gears because pink internationally symbolizes women and the gears relate to engineering. On each of the topic pages, I simply used images that related to what was being talked about.

Conducting the ethnography was easily the biggest learning experience out of the three projects. Typically when I'm observing something,  I'm just looking at the surface and not paying attention to all of the details. Observing a group of people like this made me look at everything from clothing to eye contact. I was not only was able to notice these things, but also form connections between them and apply my research to give it all meaning. In addition, I now see how I fit in, or don't fit in, to certain groups. I realized not everything can be grouped, however. Many things overlap and coincide with each other just like a person in a discourse community.
