Week 6
Feb 22nd, 2012 by Nav Dhaliwal
We’ve had a week since our final presentation. In this time we have sent our final deliverables to our client electronically. This includes our Exhibit Concept Document (ECD), AutoCAD drawings of the design and the final PowerPoint presentation. We hope that Science World will be able to use aspects of our design and that they have benefited from our assistance in the design process.
Since the final presentation last week, we’ve been able to reflect on the project and the engineering related experience. We’ve learned how to effectively communicate with a client and to successfully meet project deadlines. Although the project was not very Civil Engineering related we feel like we have still gained valuable project management skills. These skills include effective team coordination and communication, as well as project documentation.
Overall this project has turned out to be fun and educational, especially since Science World was a great client to work with. Our group was able to work well together and all members contributed effectively.

Congratulations on completing the project.
In terms of what you have learned, i wonder how you know that you have communicated effectively with the client. Do you have evidence of this? More generally, and with regard to project management, I wonder how this project is similar to, and different from, your CIVL 201 project.
