Reflection
Overall, senior thesis was a challenging yet rewarding experience. I got to learn about precast concrete, prefabbed plumbing manifolds, and minimal living. I got to apply what I learned in AE 422 to a real project. The class helped me learn more about masonry and design. Beyond masonry, I learned about prefabrication of MEP trades. If I had more time I would do a multi trade rack. I learned a lot more about how and when these trades put their work into place. Finally I got to explore a topic that I truly value, minimal living. I was able to create a floor plan that was both economical and sustainable. I hope to continue learning more about minimalism by working with Dr. Riley on construction of Tiny Houses in the State College area. I wish I had challenged myself to do an electrical breath because that is the area of the field I am going into after college. The experience overall was rewarding and challenging.
