JCP 2015 GROUP 341 Jan Smuts House Museum
This was a project to the Community-Based Project of the Faculty Engineering, Built Environment and Information Technology of the University of Pretoria. For our project we planned, constructed and developed a surface bed to support Jan Smuts canons' in a new control setting so that it is not exposed to the elements, at the Jan Smuts House Museum in Irene, South Africa
We learnt:
Planning is important, not only for us but everyone involves in the project to receive and install material on the right time and place.
Engineers have a different mind set than we do.
We could get practical experience in what we have learned in theory over the past two and a half years.
