Extra Credit
CIV E 301 has been an interesting class and I would like to thank Professor Lakrori for making the class worthwhile. She has been an incredible instructor and for that I appreciate her efforts and dedication in ensuring that everyone felt zealous about the course.
There are several important things that I learned and experienced throughout the CIV E 301 class. The first important thing I would say I learned in this class is that I gained an in-depth understanding of the ethical issues faced in the field of civil engineering and practice. Through this class, I was exposed to different scenarios meant to provide a better understanding of the common ethical issues within civil engineering. Thus, I learned different approaches that could be used to address such ethical issues whenever encountered.
Secondly, through the class. I learned more about solid foundation for problem solving within the field of civil engineering. The class has been useful in guiding how to solve problems in mathematics using differential equations, as well as calculus-based physics. This class has been useful to me as I got to understand how it is possible to solve problems using mathematics, particularly problems within the scope of mechanics of materials. Moreover, the third important thing I experienced is that learning online was instrumental in nurturing a newer way of learning, in which I felt like I became a better student. My experience learning this class online helped me learn how to organize my time appropriately to ensure that I could do all given tasks within the given deadlines.
Furthermore, the fourth important thing I experienced is that had a great experience with group projects as it enhanced my capabilities in being a valuable key player in a team. Hence, my skills in teamwork were greatly enhanced. Lastly, the fifth important thing I learned is that I was more interested in using modern tools of engineering to solve problems within the field of civil engineering. In this regard, I realized that I was more drawn into using modeling methods to solve solid mechanics as opposed to using had calculations.
