REFLECTION

Senior thesis provided an excellent opportunity to apply knowledge gained in the classroom and additionally overcome obstacles that are presented in real building construction. It demanded a better understanding of the integration of different building systems. The study of disciplines outside of one’s own option was a great learning experience. Time management skills became essential in achieving goals set at the beginning of the spring semester. It became vital to find a balance between time constraints and finding the best possible results.

The CPEP website was a useful tool in organizing and tracking progress made during the year. The discussion board allowed for collaboration with professionals on practical building applications.
