During last week's lab time we were thoroughly introduced to the project that we are going to tackle this term. We basically have to construct a bridge that can support a maximum weight while keeping it as cheap as possible. During this time we also had the chance to set up our website, sign into the west point bridge design website and exchange contact information. I think that one of the most important aspects that our group has to have good communication and have respect for the other members of the group. During this week we will continue working together and figuring out our next assignment.

Throughout this project our group will be working collectively and we will be encountering various obstacles. One of these obstacles will be cooperation, in the past I have been faced with issues concerning cooperation so I think I'm ready for any problem. I will encounter them with tranquility and an open mind. any problem that we may encounter I will try to approach it by analyzing it and seeing it objectively rather than personally or emotionally. I think this will help our group be as effective and efficient as we can.
