B6: Final Blog :)


Image result for final blog

The blogs have increased my knowledge in many topics that were covered in the course. Also, it helped me with my final project.  

I’m an AutoCAD user, also in my senior design project, I used AutoCAD. However, my group suggested that we work on Revit and learn a new BIM tool. I was worried because I have never used it before, but when doing the Revit assignment and following the tutorial the professor provided to us, I realized that it is easier than I thought. In my opinion, it is easier than AutoCAD. Although, I faced some issues and took a while to know how to figure things out, overall I liked it more than AutoCAD. It is one of my outcomes from this course and it will be beneficial if I became professional at using it especially for my future career.  

The database assignment also was helpful especially that I had taken a course about this, but that course was concentrated on creating tables and relations using SQL. However, in this course, I learned how to fill the courses with quires, form and report them. I wasn’t relating the database to AE at first and didn’t think about it before until I did the database assignment. The database is not only used in offices, academic systems, manufacturing systems, but also in building systems like sensors.

I liked how the class was grouped according to our concentrations because when there is something in common, this will expand our creativity by exchanging ideas and thoughts that are related to our major.

Varsha,
You did a good job on your final project also when presenting it! You and your group introduced me to a new topic in the robotics field "cobots".
This course really had a great coverage on several topics which we all took advantage of. I'm happy that the course has taught you some new things and increased your skills on BIM tools like Revit.
I strongly agree with you on your last point.

Reece,
First I would like to wish you all the best on your next co-op!
We have something in common where we both had the same general background on database. The database assignment was fun. It taught me in-depth how it works and I'm glad that you thought the same.
In your co-op try to incorporate what you have got from this course especially what the guest speakers told us, and you will feel that everything is realistic and make more sense.

Manon,
I liked your reflection!
Me too at first I didn't know what an intelligent building course would look like and what will be the topics and assignments covered until I received an email from the professor illustrated that including the syllabus. He mentioned that if someone is not interested, just drop the course. However, in my point of you, I was pleased with the syllabus because he is covering technologies that are part of our future.
I learned many things and believe that we all have learned from this course.
Guest speakers also gave us opportunities to see things from different aspects in the career field.

Douha,

I think it is very interested that you were able to incorporate things learned in this class to your senior design project. That is something I look forward to in my senior year. Utilizing the concepts and the tools readily available to us engineering students is so important in an educational career.

Douha,
I completely understand what you are saying because I have primarily used autocad and civil 3d without ever using revit. I was surprised how easy and clean it was. Many people in my office also use revit for architecture but because I am civil engineering, I barely get to use it. Hopefully I will be able to utilize my skills and be incorporated in multiple different fields.

Douha, I agree that the blogs and research performed through the shared Evernote were greatly beneficial to understanding the content covered in the course. I was also a strict AutoCAD user at the start of this course, but with the aid of Professor Mitchell’s tutorial I feel I got a good grasp on Revit as a whole and all the functionality it possesses. I also enjoyed the structure of the class, breaking the roster into groups based off general interests helped keep discussions on track and ensured that everyone was at least familiar with the topics at hand. Overall, the course was designed in such a way that allowed consistent understandings of each newly introduced subject, and I wish I had other courses structured in a similar manner.

Douha,

Great use of an emoji. It caught my eye, that is why I am commenting on your post.

I agree with you that one of the advantages of the course was exposing us to new programs and new technologies. It is hard to think outside the box sometimes and this course helped to look at certain things from a different prospective.
