Going into our 2018 CAS project, we were way over our heads. Coming out, I am both relieved and surprised that we pulled it off. Initially, our final project was supposed to be a full scale soundproofing project, which I did not think was more than pasting some foam to a wall. But as we did research, we realized that this great idea was slipping out of our hands, and out out of our budget. I grew nervous, seeing that our CAS project was much more serious than those of our peers, and I simply worried that it would be impossible to complete before the deadline. Yet as I reflect, I realize that in persevering through all of the setbacks, I have been exposed to so many new programs, topics, places, people and life experiences:
For one, I had never encountered model making software, and I was so pleased to be able to work with Brandon and take a huge step forward in the planning process of our project. Prior to this project, I was also unaware of the existence of Acoustical Engineering, and the science behind soundproofing. Our group’s trip to Sam Ash enlightened me to all of the complexities of recording technology and forced to me meet and speak with new people about unfamiliar concepts--both a bewildering and empowering experience. Finally, in teaching other students about Engineering, I grew more confident working under the pressure of writing and creating slide shows that would be both informative and engaging. I am most pleased to say that all of our members became engrossed in our ambition, if not the project itself, as they frequently asked for updates on the status of the project and their individuals roles in it.
Our CAS project was challenging, most of all, and while I am glad that it is all over, I am thankful that we were pushed into this unknown territory without help or guidance, as it has made me a stronger and a more knowledgeable person.
