What were the most memorable and rewarding aspects of this experience?
As a bridge engineer, completing the bridge structure itself as part of a blended team was the most rewarding part of the experience. Being able to participate on a complicated structure with other bridge engineers was rewarding as well, and I was able to both learn about bridge structures from my bridge engineer colleagues and pass on my knowledge of bridges to members of the team from other disciplines.
