The day started with a lot of hectic studying for the upcoming midterm exam later that day. Everyone had their notes out at breakfast, and studying continued in the buses on the way to Ready Mix Beton. Ready Mix Beton is a concrete plant that supplies ready mix concrete to a lot of major projects in Dubai. Upon arriving, we were given an explanation and history about concrete in Dubai, it's uses as well as what the concrete consisted of. During the presentation, they provided a bunch of food for us.

After the presentation, they took us on a tour of the plant. It involved the testing facilities, one of their five batching plants where the concrete is actually produced, and a briefing on the management side of the company. Team 1 got to see a slump test performed.

Afterwards, we headed back to the office to have a quick lunch. Lunch was a Mediterranean salad and four different sandwiches. Everyone ate super quick to get in some last minute studying before the midterm exam. A lot of us were super confused with the first question, and so the exam ran a little longer than planned for clarification purposes.
Later in the evening, we went out to go watch a comedy movie named The Hustle. There were mixed feelings about this movie.
