481W/482 Course Reflection
Thesis provided
a real-life application of the sum knowledge I've attained over the past
5 years in the AE program. Instead of spoon fed problems typical to a classroom
setting, AE481W and 482 allowed students to venture out and find actual
design issues and tackle them just as a professional engineer would. Throughout
the course, new challenges arose and were tackled by studying the issue
at length and performing the necessary calculations to resolve it. In the
end, the course served as a great guide to help 5th year students acclimate
to life as an engineer without the boundaries set by a typical class.
CPEP & Discussion
Board Reflection
The CPEP website and discussion board
provided another learning experience that accompanied AE481W and AE 482.
By creating a website on which to post our work, we learned basic website
design and learned to communicate effectively through a new medium. The
discussion board served as place to contact professionals and ask their
advice on any issues we encountered during design and analysis of our buildings.
They were always prompt in their responses and offered guidance to help
us see our projects to completion.
