AE 481W/482 Course Reflection
I foresee the lessons learned throughout Senior Thesis
being indispensable in my future endeavors. Thesis was so much more than can
be described with the work presented. For every paragraph that made it into
the final report, there was extensive research, and inevitable failure. That
is what makes this project so unique. It is a hand-on learning process, facilitated
by some of the greatest and most genuinely concerned staff, faculty and consultants
in the world. Despite not winning any awards, I feel proud every day when
I think about what I was a part of during this project. It represents the
culmination of the breadth and depth of studies we have endured in this renowned
program of Architectural Engineering. It is also a fitting end in that it
serves to prepare us for what lies ahead, in the next steps of life. We will
be no stranger to the challenges that await us, and be all the more capable
to surmount them when they do arise.
CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection
I never directly utilized the discussion boards, although
they were an invaluable resource. I was sure to read ongoing discussions from
all branches of our study to keep current on the issues and concerns facing
me and my peers. I was surprised to see the promptness and thoroughness with
which questions were answered. Even after one source provided an answer, another
practitioner would provide additional insight, or another perspective. This
truly demonstrates the comradery that presents itself between professionals
in our field.
