REFLECTIONS

The senior thesis course offers students the opportunity for academic, practical, and integrated learning. It provides a platform for integrated design and construction into one project. This thesis focused on electrical, structural, and construction management challenges. By studying the construction challenges early on, better design decision can be made. Throughout this thesis project many design and construction professional provided valuable advice. By learning about all the current innovate technology; the most practical sustainable systems were design for this building project. This hands on learning senior project provided a inspiration for a lifelong learning by applying coursework knowledge and research of new technology. This course was a great challenge which concluded in great satisfaction for the hard work that preceded it.
