AE 481W/482 Course Reflection
This thesis coursework provided a chance to experience
the engineering process first-hand. Both setbacks and solutions were experienced
throughout the thesis experience providing a chance to consistently engineer
solutions to problems. Dealing with the stresses of deadlines and pleasing
faculty gave provided significant insight into the building design practice.
While I will not don the label of professional engineer for years, this
course brought me closer to that realization.
CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection
While I do not plan on a career in website design, the
internet is a crucial part of every aspect of the business world. I would
like to stress that I did not have the slightest insight into editing websites
previous to this class; and although I may not use the skill in the future,
it is an extremely advantageous ability and may yet prove useful.
