AE 481W/482 Course Reflection
I felt that the senior thesis was an overall good experience. It allowed us as students to focus on one individual project
and apply what we have learned over the past 5 years in terms of design and analysis. I felt it also gave me more
confidence in myself as an E.I.T., as it was primarily an independent effort throughout the project’s entirety.
Furthermore, I think that the manner in which AE 481W was broken down by Technical Assignments was very effective.
It allowed us to investigate the building in a step-by-step fashion which I felt provided me with a better overall understanding
of my building’s structural system.
CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection
The CPEP website was also a positive part of this thesis course. Although I felt it was slightly unrelated to the rest of the
thesis, it did teach me how to manage and successfully create an effective website. It was a good way to organize all of our
information and findings and present it in an orderly fashion.
