AE 481W /481 Course Reflection


The AE senior thesis program has been an extremely valualbe experiance for me. I was able to challange myself with an comprehensive project that I was pursue into as much detail in the specific areas I was interested in. Through the process of doing this, I was also able to expose myself to aspects of engineering that would never have found there way into the classroom at the undergraduate level. Learning this complex material independently is an experiance that will undoubtedly prepare me for my career as a professional.

CPEP Reflection


The use of the CPEP format for posting and submitting work was useful for both myself personally as well as for making the program more efficent. This format taught me the basics of webdesign, and will leave me feeling comfortable using Dreamweaver in the future. In addition, format allowed work to be submitted in one, easy to access location that anyone, be it faculty members, friends, family, or even professionals could access.
