Reflection

  • StudyBuddy turned out to be a solid project with useful features.
  • Faced challenges with user interactions and database management, which improved problem-solving and collaboration skills.
  • Group communication and collaboration improved significantly towards the end of the trimester.
  • Gained valuable knowledge in web development, backend functionality, and building practical, user-friendly applications.
  • Plan to major in mechanical engineering, but see computer science as a valuable side skill.
  • Coding knowledge will be useful for automation, simulations, data analysis, and engineering projects.
  • Even if CompSci isn’t pursued as a career, coding will be helpful for future engineering research and personal projects.
