Welcome to David Bodnar’s AE Senior Thesis e-Portfolio.  This site will be updated by me David Bodnar through the 2009/2010 academic year updating my progress with my work in 5th year Senior Thesis.  My main focus will be on the Construction Management side of my project, the University Medical Center at Princeton Replacement Hospital.   Architectural Engineering Senior Thesis is a yearlong capstone project that will require me to study, analyze and learn about the construction business.  The Senior Thesis will consist of doing technical analysis, communicating with professionals, and most of all coming up with proposal s for advance work design.

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. For an explanation of this capstone design course and its requirements click here.

“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 David J. Bodnar. 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.”
