A group assignment commonly given to students in their first semester of Engineering Science is to build a bridge. This project is a daunting challenge that consists of mathematical calculations, hundreds of lines of code, and absolute certainty of sleepless nights to complete construction of a bridge that must fulfill the loading requirements.
It’s was quite an interesting experience, to be able to apply and actually understand how the formulae learned in class would be used to successfully build a real-world structure. Plus, I got to work with some absolutely wonderful and hardworking people, without whom I probably would have burst into tears long ago.
