Blog 23

1.) Positive Statement

  - What are you most proud of in your block presentation and/or your senior project? Why? 

- I am proud of how I was able to salvage my activity. The software required to run my tracking program wasn't working properly on the laptops so I decided to have my audience create a geofence on a sheet of paper. With my senior project, I am proud of having been able to go and visit actual companies that use my mentor's tracking system.

2.) What assessment would you give yourself on your block presentation? 

- I would give myself a P.

3.) What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project?

- I would give myself an AE.

4.) What worked for you in your senior project?

- What really worked for me in my senior project was having my mentor as my next door neighbor. The conveniences of just walking over to his house and talking to him about my project was really beneficial for me.

5.) What would I have done differently in my senior project?

- If I could go back in time, I would've started my Independent Component 1 earlier. I didn't realize until about January that was falling behind on my hours. I was pretty stressed the last couple weeks of January trying to schedule visits at businesses that work with my mentor.

5.) How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors?

- The senior project has really helped me gain more insight into the transportation industry and how technology is revolutionizing the way people move. I plan to become a mechanical engineer one day and hopefully work with vehicle systems that use GPS or any other sort of electronics.
