A project that jumped out at me immediately was from a different college course, we worked as a group to design and build whatever we wanted using CNC machines. It was tough and we almost ran out of time, but overall, it was successful. We had to draft up a blueprint, 3d model it, create a CNC program for the parts, and cut and assemble the item within the class term. With it being a school project, we essentially had access to unlimited physical resources, so the only real risk was time. We had to plan out who would do what steps when, and since certain things had to be done in order, plan them out so that it was all finished on time. Due to absent team members, we almost didn't make our goal, but the rest of the team managed to get the parts made in time and we all passed.
