REFLECTION

The Senior Capstone Project was a hands-0n and comprehensive approach to giving students a realistic experience and view of construction. By studying the systems and construction practices utilized at Cardinal Wuerl North Catholic High School, the researcher was able to gain a valuable educational and professional insight into every aspect of the building industry. The three technical reports and proposal proved to be very valuable as reference material while writing and composing the final report and presentation. The Senior Capstone Project also helped the researcher to gain valuable knowledge of trends in the industry from his own research and the research performed by others. Communication with industry members that was necessary to receive vital information pertaining to the technical analyses performed also proved to be very beneficial. Overall, senior thesis proved to be a true transition between university education and the beginning of this researcher's professional career through an educational program that blends the two together. The researcher believes that it will be of great benefit to have gone through this program upon entering the construction industry.
