Since City College of New York does not have a surveying course, Skanska agreed to teach the students of CCNY what surveying is. To educate us, Skanska needed a site to portray the importance of surveying and what better is the Second Ave subway project that is being constructed now. 

In the beginning of the lesson, our one hour lecture was given by the Senior Survey Engineer of Skanska, Danuta Czerski. Danuta Czerski taught us the ins and outs of what the essence of surveying is all about. "The surveyor team is the first to start a project and the last to finish it," quoting Danuta Czerski. She is right because without surveyors, projects would utter ably be a disaster.  

After of which, we were all able to head 6 stories below the daily traffic of Second Ave to meet the two tunnels that are being excavated by a tunnel boring machine (TBM) 24/7. Explanations of this site were given to us by Danuta Czerski, Christopher Kohr (Engineer of Skanska), and Professor Vincent Tirolo (Chief Engineer of Skanska). 

A few hours later, City College of New York students knew exactly what surveying meant to a project after experiencing the wonders of the Second Ave Subway. They were also very ecstatic that they were able to partake in this experience.
