Today we did a walking tour of Athens, seeing buildings like the Parliament, Academy, University, and the neighborhood of Plaka before meeting with Lamda Developement and visiting the Ellinikon Construction Site. We finished the day by touring the National Archaeological Museum!

Specifically at Lamda Development, we saw a lot of cool streamlining and technology explanations and demonstrations. As a chemical engineer, I think I can learn a lot from the different techniques/programs such as BIM that can help me focus on efficiency when solving problems in the future. They were able to transform images and accounts into data to create 3D Models, Time Management, Cost/Sustainability, and Facility Management. Learning about new approaches to engineering had a great impact on how I will personally make engineering decisions in my future career.
