Going through these last ten or so weeks has been quite the journey, but overall I think we as a group have grown into a cohesive and hardworking team. We as a whole have faced our challenges throughout the semester, but overall I feel we have come out on top. Our design project has come a long way. It was first, a mere simple idea, and now it has grown into a tangible piece of inspiration. As we develop the bridge for testing this week I am confident that by the time we present our project in week ten the bridge aspect of our project will be complete and will tie our entire theme of a place to collectively collaborate on knowledge together. I have really enjoyed working with my group mates. They have each brought something different and unique to the table, and we have grown into our own little family.
As for our actual class, I have enjoyed this semester overall. The K'NEX bridge competition proved to be an interesting endeavor, and I feel that as a group we learned a lot about the many elements that go into designing a bridge and the mechanics to weight distribution throughout a bridge. It is in that gained knowledge that we pressed on and continued to work with bridge building. Although we chose to move away from K'NEX and work with Erector instead. Dr. Aktan and Ben have taught us a lot about what it takes to manage our own project. Especially in the aspect of determining scope, parameters, and the overall elements that need to be defined when building a pedestrian bridge. This experience has been one that I will never forget, and I plan to apply the knowledge I have gained through this class to my future experiences.
