The senior thesis experience has proven to be an tremendous learning experience. The course afforded me the ability to work at my own pace and have more reign over the scope of the proejct than in many other classes. I was able to investigate several very interesting topics which I believe will be very useful in my future career. The course also allowed me to exercise the technical skills that I aquired throughout my career at Penn State. In addition to completing some of the tasks that I specifically learned in my coursework I was able to learn some new skills in the process of completing these technical analyses.
The CPEP was a valuable way of sharing my information with others throughout the year. I was able to refer my friends and family to the website to keep up with my progress on my work and utilize it to convey information to industry members as needed. In addition the Discussion Board was a teriffic help in developing contacts which were extremly helpful in my thesis research and for conduting a portion of my survey.
