AE 481W/882 Course Reflection The fifth year senior thesis project is an essential component of the Penn State AE Department. It ties together all knowledge gained within the five years spent in the AE program. Senior thesis is a very different experience for students as it represents a scenario similar to what practicing engineers are faced with on a daily basis. The structure of this course forces students to make engineering decisions and execute them in a time efficient manner. This is an essential quality to become a successful engineer. Through the hard work and determination that senior thesis requires, students gain an outstanding work ethic that will prove to be beneficial in engineering practice. CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection The electronic portfolio is a very efficient way for students to culminate the entire year's work. Faculty, professionals, friends, and family are able to view what students have been working on. It is greatly appreciated that this feature is provided by the AE staff and faculty. The message board proved to be very beneficial for students while working on their senior thesis projects. The professional engineers provided students with great advice and feedback on matters that may not be taught in a textbook, but are considered a rule of thumb in practice. The senior thesis projects would not be the quality they are without the professional engineers' continuous help and support.
