Reflections

 

The five years at Penn State have been amazing and challenging at the same time. Throughout these five years, I have grown a lot professionally and as a social being. I have obtained a new set of skills that I never thought of before, especially after coming from a foreign country and jumping straight to the college level, and now I am able to solve complicated engineering problems. What better place than Senior Thesis would have been the right one for me to apply all the knowledge that I had obtained throughout my years here. During Senior Thesis I learned how to work individually and how to self-manage my time accordingly so all my projects would have been done on time. Thesis thought me how to think critically and how to research on my own when I was not able to give it an answer to the problems I had.

 

Another thing that Penn State and Architectural Engineering taught me was that despite where you come from and the language barrier if you really want it and work for it you will be able to do. Also, another thing that I learned from Architectural Engineering in overall is that despite the sleepless nights always push the hardest you can. Every battle you win is a step closer to fulfilling your dream.

I want to thank all the Architectural faculty for helping me become a better engineer.
