Title: Senior Project Reflection
Label: Presentation
Directions: Please answer the following questions and turn it in to the blog.

(1) Positive Statement

What are you most proud of in your Block Presentation and/or your senior project? Why?

- Something that I am most proud of is being able to reach the time required. Days before I presented I thought I had enough information to present without worrying but when I presented I spoke to quickly and I did not make time at first but luckily I was able to come up with new information and make time.

(2) Questions to Consider

a. What assessment would you give yourself on your Block Presentation (self-assessment)?

-I would give myself a P.

b. What assessment would you give yourself on your overall senior project (self-assessment)?

-I would give myself a P.

What worked for you in your senior project?

- Something that really worked for me throughout senior project was the note book and having to keep a working bibliograpghy because it helped me keep all of my research where I could obtain again in the future if I needed it for something. 

(4) (What didn't work) If you had a time machine, what would have you done differently to improve your senior project if you could go back in time?

- Something that didnt work for me throughout senior project was not being able to tallk to other engineers because I didnt think it was neccessary but over time I found that having more than one mentor was useful because if one mentor was not at reach then you could always go to the other one if needed. 

(5) Finding Value

How has the senior project been helpful to you in your future endeavors? Be specific and use examples.

- Senior project has helped me figure out what I really want in the future. After finishing my mentorship I realized that I actually want to do engineering as a profession now. In the beginning I only chose this topic because my brother is an engineer but now I actually like it and I want too attend Cal Poly Pomona for engineering. 

Blog 21: Mentorship

label: mentorship
Due Date: Tuesday May 13 by 8 AM

Contact Name : Antonio Salas 
Mentorship Place: RBF consulting

Interpretive: The most important thing I gained from this experience was learning how to work with different professionals and being able to step out of my comfort zone to leaner new things and get things done that I could not have done without the help of other people. 

Applied: What I have done has helped me answer my EQ because not only did I work with a transportation engineer during mentorship, but I also worked with a urban planner. This helped me understand the different point of views of planners and engineers. If I would have only done mentorship with a engineer I would have never learned how the geometry of the project is obtained and how it is analyzed before it is submitted to the engineer.
