AE 481W/482 Course Reflection
Senior Thesis was a great experience over the last two semesters. The fall brought many many challenges including how to network with professionals in order to obtain building drawings. Also, advanced analysis procedures had to be investigated on our own since the course offered very little direction in terms how to go about studying the building. The fall semester helped to introduce the professional side of our soon to be careers but tied well into the college curriculum.
The spring semester really threw each of us into time management, since the course was not as structured as in the fall. It also made us rely heavily on being able to speak with other students, faculty, and industry professionals. The presentations were great to watch, since most of the technical issues that other students studied were unknown.
Overall the course-work that was done over the last year was both challenging and rewarding. The thesis advisors could not have been more helpful and always had an answer to what seemed to be the most difficult of questions. More knowledge was obtained in this course than any other course in the curriculum and should provide a solid stepping stone into the professional world.
CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection
The CPEP websites are a good contribution to senior thesis because they allow the world to view the work that we have spent so much time on over the last two semesters. It is important to be able to view previous student's work to help current students accomplish thesis goals. The CPEP websites also provide a way for us to do this.
