AE 481W/482 Course Reflection

The AE 481W/482 was a very effective learning experience. The structure of the AE 481/482 courses allowed me to plan and meet all of my thesis goals. The course serves as an useful capstone that allowed myself to utilize all that I learned over five years of Architectural Engineering coursework.

CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection

The CPEP website serves as an excellent tool for the organization of this project. The discussion board serves as an effective connection between students and industry professionals. It is a great tool for information exchange and education.

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.
