481W/482 Reflection:
Senior thesis was a great opportunity to design a fully integrated mechanical system. The timeline of the project allowed for independent research. This self paced structure component made the project much more realistic. The thesis advisors were very helpful resources along the way.

CPEP Reflection:
The web design portion of the course was helpful. It allowed for us to find ways to effectively present our ideas to the individuals outside of the Penn State Community. This website also was also useful to show potential employers our work.
