Week 2 blog post

     During week 1 of this Engineering 103 lab I got to meet the two other people who I will be working with for the rest of the term. While at class everyone basically did the same thing; received an introduction to the course from the professor James Mitchell, had a brief overview of truss bridges, watch a brief yet quite amusing video of a bridge simulator (the West Point Bridge Designer computer program), and created a blog where each detail of the activities done in lab and outside of lab will be posted.

     For this week’s assignment the group as a whole needs to figure out what problems do we see happening in the foreseeable future. After finding out that my group members and I all live in the same dorm most the communication and meeting to collaborate on projects problems have been virtually erased. The division of all the work at this point does not seem to pose as a problem, but this is a crucial part to have a good functioning group. At the best of my knowledge at this point in time the only problem that I can see happening is just having different ideas when approaching an assignment, which most likely be settled easily because my group seems to get along. As long as our group keeps up if not ahead of each week's assignment this project should go fairly smoothly.
