Course Reflection
The AE Senior Thesis project has been an very valuable experience. Working through the project on my own forced me to understand and overcome a number of difficulties in the design process. Becasue my building employed systems not covered extensively in previous corsework I got to expand my knowledge and gain some descernment in the praticality and efficient use of a number of structural systems.
CPEP Comments
Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) had been a useful tool for this senior thesis project as it has provide professors and professionals easy access to my work. However, the most pratical aspect was that it provided a easily accessable single location for storage and display of my thesis material.
