Lesson Learned: It showed me that the same material can exemplify different results in regard to strength, just based on the moment of inertia and orientation. This is a critical concept to fully understand in engineering, considering that these small changes in orientation can effect the integrity of an engineering product as a whole.
Most Challenging Aspect: More than the testing process, completing the report was the most challenging part, as per the fact that I was absent during the testing stage of the task. As a result, I was oblivious to the correct format of the assignment and the calculation sector, leading to the assignment being incorrect in the calculation area to some extent.
What I could've done differently: As mentioned above, I wish I was present during the testing portion of the project, considering that I would've been able to complete the assignment with greater ease and execution. In addition, I should've invested more time into double-checking my calculations, as I had lost points for that section.
