THESIS REFLECTION:

The Architectural Engineering Senior Thesis was a great educational experience. The project combined the knowledge taught in classes while giving the opportunity to learn new things about real world experiences and how the complete design process as well as the construction process is completed. It also allows a student to expand and learn about issues not taught in the classroom.

CPEP REFLECTION:

The CPEP website is efficient in making the information available for students, teachers, and professionals to fully understand the thesis process. It reduces paperwork while giving students a better understanding of what is expected from looking at other CPEP site. It also allows for the opportunity to learn about buildings other than the student's individual thesis building.


 


 

 




 

 

 

 

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. For an explanation of this capstone design course and its requirements click here.
