Building Science Experience
When I came to Auburn in the Fall of 2010 i knew that i wanted to be in building science. I knew that they had one of the best programs in the country and it was a field that i was interested in. I had an idea of what building science was when i was a freshman but now i really now and it was completely what i thought it was but in a good way. I believe the best part of the building science program at Auburn University is the professors and how small the classes are. The professors have experience in the industry and they are wiling to spend the extra time to help the students and make sure that they understand the material. I have gained some great friends from building science and that will be helpful when we are all in the industry. Most other colleges will tell you that they are not as close as building science students and that is because we are all in the same classes together which i enjoy. The Gorrie center is a great facility which is dedicated to only building science students and it provides a great place to study and everything that you could need.
My thesis experience was a bit different than most people because i spent half of the semester in Australia studying abroad. It was difficult to work abroad but i was able to get my work done once i got back to the states. I enjoyed working on my thesis because it gave me experience to things that i am going to see in the real world. I know i made mistakes on my thesis but it is all apart of the learning and i will not make the mistake again next time. I had not been exposed to many of the documents and other activities before thesis so it was good to produce those documents and get practice. Overall thesis has been around for a long time and i think it is one of the best things that the building science department does. It allows for the student to work on there own and figure out the problems on there own which it will be like in the real world. In June i will begin work with Juneau Construction as a field engineer in Knoxville, TN on a student housing project. I feel that the building science department has prepared me for this position and i am looking forward to my career in construction.
