Professor Mitchell's review covered many topics from what we
can expect to see as the project progresses to what we need to be successful on
the project. Teamwork is one of the key factors in projects such as this since
there are due dates to meet. Having good teamwork relies on communication
between team members and this can be achieved with anything from a simple email
to a meeting to discuss plans. Me being a commuter student and my group mates
being residents might present small problems with meeting times but I am
determined to work around that. I believe we'll be able to keep a good schedule
going and have our project progress in an organized and timely manner. Group
meetings are important because they allow better sharing of ideas. We need a
collaboration of everyone's ideas in order to make a design that have input
from all members. Discussing possible iterations of the bridge can allow us to
take the best elements from each design and combine them to form one that
incorporates all of those elements. I plan on emphasizing collaboration of
ideas in our group so we'll all have to play a role in each part of the
project. My previous experiences with Engineering projects has shown me that
field testing is very important so I hope we finish ahead of schedule so we
have extra time to test our design and implement any changes that make the
design more ideal. It's also important to record every major iteration to keep
track of our project and see our progress and demonstrate our problem solving
steps. One of the most important things to do in this project is to have fun
and build cool bridges. Actually enjoying and taking interest in a project will
always give better results than being indifferent about it.
