Final Reflection

The fabric bucket project was overall a very helpful experience that gave our team many life lessons to use later down the road. The project gave us useful experience with time management since it is a semester long project, so our team had to balance our school work with this in-depth project, which was difficult at times.

The project also required our team to develop our teamwork skills because we all had to work with others for an extended period of time like an actual job. Although our team did not see eye to eye all of the time, we were all able to compromise where we needed to in order to produce a product that in the end, was very successful. We were successful because each teammate tried to be as dependable as possibly throughout the semester and willing the their fair share of the work that this lengthy project required.

Creating our fabric bucket was quite difficult because the possibilities were endless to what materials and designs we could use. There was no way we could possibly test every fabric, waterproofing material, and design in order to find the best bucket possibly so we had to confident our research and ourselves in order to create a successful bucket.

In conclusion, our team was successful because we were able to overcome our differences and focus on the project and do whatever was needed to make the bucket succeed. We all learned useful skills along the way in terms of how to be successful at engineering and working as a team and we can use those skills later down the road in own individual careers.
