The fifth year thesis project proved to be a great learning experience which allowed me to combine my knowledge and skills gained from the past five years into a real world project.  The biggest part of the project I will take away is time management.  I learned a lot about what tasks work well with others as well needing to allow for correspondence time between other engineers and business contacts.  The project let me expand my understanding of how different systems work together in a building and how to explain them both physically and mathematically.  I plan to take the overall experience I gained from my work as a step in the right direction for my future engineering career.
