AE 481W/482 Course Reflection:

Penn State AE Senior Thesis (AE 481W/482) provided a great opportunity to further individual study based on interests while interacting with real world examples. Through this experience I have not only learned much in structures, acoustics, and construction management, but I have also gained knowledge with regards to time management, professional interaction, and professional research procedures. All of this new knowledge shall prove to be useful as I further my career.

 

CPEP and Discussion Board Reflection:

The digital side of Senior Thesis provided a unique experience for all that were involved. The Discussion Board allowed quick access to a wide range of professionals willing to help and guide us in the right direction. Without their help many of us would still be lookin for information. The CPEP may have been time consuming to create and maintain, but it provided a helpful tool when discussing the project with professors and professionals.
