AE 481W/482 Course Reflection

This year long research project has been a very positive experience for me.  I feel I have learned a lot about structural engineering.  The experience I gained working through this project I will keep with me especially early in my engineering career.  The setup of the 481W and 482 courses was very different than any other course I have taken here at Penn State, but it worked well with the type and amount of work I had to accomplish.

CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection

I found the discussion board to be a very useful tool in working through my thesis project.  Although I did not ever post a question, I ended up having some of the same questions other had.  Thank you to all of the professionals who answered questions for us, they were very helpful.  I feel the CPEP sites helped to have my information available to a lot of people.  It is a good way for potential employers to view information, as well as help the professionals on the discussion board to further understand the questions they were receiving.
