In this class our assignment is to build a bridge that is both the strongest as well as the least costly. In order to obtain this goal, Kevin, Jake and I must work together as a team.  The teamwork aspect of the creation of this bridge is one of the most integral pieces of the project. We all have the same motivations to do well in this project. Besides just getting a good grade in the class, Kevin and I are currently Civil Engineering major’s and are eagerly awaiting the knowledge that comes along with designing a support structure such as a bridge. Although the bridge is only made out of K’NEX, the supports structures we learn about in this class can be translated into a real life scenario’s and give us real world skills to set us apart from other hopeful Civil Engineering applicants. I feel teamwork is important because if one learns the ability to work as a team, he then learns broadens his horizon on his own knowledge. Not only are one person’s ideas going into the project, but now all three teammates are working together to pull out the best possible ideas to make the project as successful as possible.
