Construction: Learning by Doing
In this Learning by Doing activity, we focused on the concepts behind construction. We learned that construction isn’t just building. Its understanding how material can behave differently. It also showed us the concept of job cost and having to be efficient with what you had. This helped us show how well we can alter our design with minimal use. We worked together in groups to problem-solve on the suspension of a 2-liter water bottle. We all planned and thought of ways to suspend this together. With my team, we adjusted the design and materials, learning how even tiny changes can affect it for the better or the worse. Through trial and error, this gives you a chance to keep thinking and seeing that there are always multiple ways to do this project. As an aspiring project manager, I trusted my team to the fullest in encouraged them to trust their ideas through. By the end, we all have different strengths, and it’s not bad to lean on others for support. These skills were a great introduction to real-world building and my aspiration for project management
