Abstract

The study aims to construct the iconic bridge in San Francisco known as The Golden Gate Bridge. This study leads to prepare future architects and engineers through the construction of a miniature that will train aspiring future professionals. This study will assess the level of acceptability of miniature in terms of construction materials, procedural methodology, feasibility, and presentation. The researchers drafted a floor plan and a template needed for the project. Next was the formulation of methods as a guide to the construction of the bridge. After the formulation of the methods, the researchers discussed and tried several materials to achieve the most suitable material for the project. The chosen materials were used to produce the miniature. This study also utilized quantitative analysis methods of research to test the significant differences in the assessment of the miniature. Through the data gathered, the researchers found out the following: the two groups of respondents, engineers and architects, assessed the level of acceptability in terms of construction materials, procedural methodology, feasibility, and presentation. The obtained results are 4.65 as for Engineers and 4.58 from the Architects and are both interpreted as very highly acceptable. There is no significant difference in the assessments of the miniature by the two groups of respondents. The study shows that using correct materials can achieve the expectation such as the toughness and quality of the project. The study also shows that proper handling of funds, proper methods, and a correct floor plan could lead to the success of the project. These findings are also connected to System Dynamics as model Based theory 2008 by Schwaninger and Grosser and also to Development of Design and Theory of Bridge Structures in Modern Japan by Isohata and Kida.
