The year long thesis project provides the average 5th Year Architectural Engineering student with the opportunity to perform a task that most professionals do on a daily basis. This project allows students to have some insight on what they will be doing once they graduate from this program. For me, this project was very beneficial to both my professional and personal growth. Professionally, it helped me be able to take on a seemingly daunting problem and break it down into manageable tasks with a final result. I believe this will be extremely beneficial in my career as I continue to develop my critical thinking skills and take on new challenges. Personally, this project helped me creatively problem solve and learn to reach out for help from faculty and industry professionals. Overall, this project was a rewarding experience that taught me many lessons that I will take with me into my upcoming career and an engineer.
