Senior Thesis Reflection
The 5th year senior thesis is a phenomenal program of Architectural Engineering department here at Penn State. It allows students to apply all the knowledge learned over the past five years, as well as, professional ethics, communication, and project organization to their own building. The amount of exposure to real-life problems and deadlines it a great preparation for students entering the professional practice. This project was the perfect way to end my five years in Architectural Engineering, I now have a better understanding of building analysis and am more confident to enter the professional field.
CPEP Discussion Board Reflection
The CPEP Discussion Board is an invaluable resource for students. The ability to have access to practicing professionals anytime is very incredible. The response by the profession was second to none, especially given their hectic schedules. The knowledge gained by reading their responses to students' questions, questions some many never have thought of, is extremely helpful in aiding students progression as engineers. Thank you for your amazing contributions to the AE program. |
