AE 481W/482 Course Reflection

The AE Senior Thesis program lasts the whole final 5th year in Architectural Engineering at Penn State. The first semester of the year, AE 481W, was spent gathering information and learning about the different systems and construction of my building, The Detroit Integrated Transportation Campus. The second semester, AE 482, was spent analyzing alternative systems and/or construction processes of the building, and of the industry as a whole.

I believe the program was very successful as a capstone to my five years at Penn State. Thesis gave me the opportunity to utilize the knowledge and skills I had gathered from all my prior AE classes, and apply them to my thesis. I also not only learned from my own alalyses, but learned from the work of my piers this semester.

CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection

CPEP was a very effective tool for gathering, displaying sharing the work we have done throughout the year. It was also useful to see thesis from past years, and gain a better understanding of the different assignments. The discusssion board was great for getting help from industry members who were outside our own personal contacts.

General Description:
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.
