Personal Reflection on AE Thesis 2010
This past year's work on my AE senior thesis, and the new pilot IPD (Integrated project Delivery) and BIM (Building Information Modeling) Thesis project has been a great experience. Not only getting to work on an architecture icon of the New York City skyline, but a chance to really get to understand the other disciplines of AE. Working side by side with a student from the Structural, Mechanical, or Construction management options, is much different then being able to say, I took a few classes in those courses. Taking the classes lets you learn the language and elementary design concepts, but working along with them on a single collaborative project, let me see all the work and time they put into their design work. They look at things never mentioned in our introduction classes and having them take time out of their work time to talk me through their design process, and explain the systems they are researching, helped us be able to understand each other on a whole different level then the standard single person thesis every would have done.

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. 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 Dan Cox. 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.
