The experience and knowledge that I gathered in the 5 year PSU AE program was very useful and yet very challenging. This AE senior thesis was the most challenging projects of my college career but it taught me so many valuable lessons that I am going to bring with me through my life and professional career. The greatest struggle of this project was having to put together the previous 4 years of AE classes and figure out how they all work together in order to provide a correct representation of the mechanical systems.

I am extremely grateful to have had such a wonderful and tremendous learning experience interning at Reese Engineering. Having provided me the building that I used for my thesis was a bit of a difficult building to redesign the mechanical system because their engineer team designed, in my eyes, a complex, integrated, and efficient system. Trying to figure out exactly what kind of mechanical system it was after weeks of research, notes, and drawings consumed a significant amount of my time. But through the whole researching of the systems, I've learned so much and was able to connect some ideas with what i learned from both Reese Engineering and the AE program.
