AE 481W/482 Reflection

Senior thesis was an excellent opportunity to work on becoming more self motivated to finish a project.  It was a chance to recognize how to manage time properly while producing quality work.  With every project, there is never a real finishing point.  Realizing that there are time constraints and that project goals must be satisfied is a key factor to finishing the course.

The project itself gave me the opportunity to explore new technologies and how to implement them in a design process.  The project served as a great final cap to the 5 year curriculum, where knowledge gained from many pervious courses and projects all aided to producing a good senior thesis.

CPEP Reflection

I enjoyed keeping up with my CPEP website.  It served as a great organizational tool and allowed for people in the industry (mainly my thesis sponsor) to check up on me and provide valuable comments and clarifications.
