Welcome to Joseph Lichman Jr. AE Senior Thesis Portfolio

User 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 Joseph Lichman Jr. 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.

AE 481W/482 Course Reflection

AE 481W/482 gave me the oppurtunity to see what it is like to take on a project and do the design of the structure for yourself and also give me the experience into the analysis of existing structures. These two points will be benifical in helping me develop the process of design after I graduate.

CPEP and Discussion Board Reflection

The CPEP was a way for me to post information and have other people to be up to date with my progress and see what I have been doing. The Discussion Board was a good way for other people out in the industry to be able to answer our questions relating it to their experience.
