AE 481W/482 Course Reflection
The senior thesis classes were good ones. Last semester, I had to take the AE 481W. During last semester, all of the works were already assigned by the instructors. I had some difficulties with studying the building because it was a post-tensioned building. It was somehow different this semester. I chose to redesign the building with steel structural system. Also, I had to manage my time and follow my own schedule to finish final report. Also, I was so glad that I learned how to use the RAM Structural program from zero.
CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection
I didn’t post any question on the CPEP & Discussion Board. I contacted some people directly. However, I still liked the idea of having this board. I read most of the question and replies that were forwarded to my email account.
