Ten weeks have come and flown by. These previous few weeks I have learned so much about robotics, AI in construction and future, 3D Printing in construction, designing in Revit and much more. In particular, I have learned a lot about digital building. This has been one of the most simple yet, challenging classes. I am grateful that I took this class as my professional elective. This class will ponder my future as an architectural engineer. The number of things I have learned in this class tremendous and to briefly condense what I learned in class, I would have to say that I learned how to use blogger. I have a superior understanding of how different ways of intaking data can prompt different versions of understanding.
For instance, I believe that the weekly blogs and writing comments to others empower the student to take look at the two sides of arguments and form opinions from incorporating their general and personal opinions to new pieces of information. Also, this class has a lot of exercises that were challenging yet, helpful. For instance, using the MC Access database. The main difficulty I faced with this exercise simply stemmed from a lack of experience. However, as an engineer, I am always looking forward to new challenges and expanding my own abilities. In turn, I embraced the challenges faced with this exercise and was excited to learn more.
Although it took me some time to get used to the new, complex system, I eventually worked my way through my initial troubles to gain a better grasp on how all of the various functions of the database operates. In turn, I can now say that I understand the basics of kinds of databases and how specifically Object-Oriented databases function as well.

In conclusion, I am very thankful I engaged in this class, especially as a senior who is about to enter the labor force and work with new and modern types of programs and databases.

Ina Sison: Ina, I agree with you, following the instructions of the assignments was really straight forward for me as well. Professor Mitchell did an amazing job teaching this class. Also, good luck with your last coop.

Amanda Kolar: Amanda, I agree with how the use of relational databases and Dynamo can help with the organization of structural components of design for various buildings or projects. When I first began to work on the database, I became quicker and better at navigating its resources. This especially helped me with defining, finding, and recording sensor characteristics in the database of design for various buildings.https://ae-410-510-ay19-20.blogspot.com/2020/03/b6-course-reflection_9.html?showComment=1583635808830#c4862027143751070328
Mika Awai: Mika, I agree with what you wrote. I am too had no idea what was the database and how it operated. This was my first time using MS Access. Moreover, I agree with how Professor Mitchell has a way of making us learn a ton of information in an easy to manage the way. I watched the video uploaded in BBLearn the process became a lot smoother and easier for me. Professor Mitchell expertly laid out how to use the database and programs and as a result, I found the exercise a lot more simple and straightforward. https://ae-410-510-ay19-20.blogspot.com/2020/03/week-10-course-reflection.html?showComment=1583637126688#c8292613843515964582

Abdul,
I agree that this class was simple yet challenging. It forced us to step out of our comfort zones and learn completely new software. I also had some difficulty with MS Access, but I now have more respect for databases and people who manage databases for living. I am glad you learned something meaningful from this course and I wish you the best of luck in your final term!
Abdul,
I agree with the “This has been one of the most simple yet, challenging classes” statement. I feel like we have all learned a lot and were challenged with the information at hand, but we were able to be successful because of the format and available resources. Congrats on graduation!
It is truly crazy how many different topics we were able to cover in just a ten week period of time. I agree with you that getting exposure to blogs was a valuable experience. It was a form of communication I had always heard of but never new much about. I think the blog posts did a job getting students thinking.
Abdul,
I am on the same boat as you are. Initially, I faced the same difficulties as you did. Especially, if you are learning it for the first time. I think the professor really did a great job-making walkthrough videos available online. Without them, I would be unable to finish the assignments. I am sure I will be returning to them if I run into database problems again.
Abdul,
This class was great at covering a wide range of material and much like you I faced challenges associated with using databases for the first time and I am glad I took the class.
