Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work‐in‐progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Shawn Pepple. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design.

AE 481W/482 Course Reflection

Senior thesis is the culmination project of Architectural Engineering at Penn State. Thesis required all students to use the knowledge we gained over the past 5 years at Penn State and apply it to real world buildings and problems. Interacting with industry professionals simulated how we will work once we graduate and provided us with valuable networking capabilities for whenever we start working. Senior Thesis is what sets Penn State's AE program apart from other majors.

CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection

CPEP provided an excellent way to communicate our Senior Thesis building to industry professionals, friends, and family. The discussion board allowed students to quickly draw upon industry member experience and was quite effective for making contacts with consultants.

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web‐based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year‐long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.
