Reflection
ABET Outcome Survey Important note: These outcomes reflect a personal assessment of the course
CPEP Reflection The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) was an effective way to display our work in a professional manner to AE faculty members. It also allowed us to market ourselves to potential employers and industry professionals. The Discussion Board was an essential resource for AE Senior Thesis which allowed us to easily interact with industry professionals to gather opinions, recommendations, and advice. It served as a great tool for all students to reach out to professionals who have a great deal of experience and knowledge in the industry. Their dedication to the Penn State AE program and involvement in this resource is crucial to the success of this course.
Senior Thesis Reflection The fifth year senior thesis project is an essential component of the AE curriculum at Penn State. It tied together the gained knowledge throughout the five years of the AE program, as well as provided a unique, real world experience for students. The thesis project created a similar scenario for which practicing engineers are faced with on a daily basis. The course is designed for students to make real life engineering decisions and effectively execute them. Through this course, students gained a large amount of knowledge and an outstanding work ethic, all of which are essential in becoming a successful engineer. |
