Senior Thesis Reflection

The fifth year senior thesis project is an intergral part of the Architectural Engineering curriculum at Penn State. It brings together all of the knowledge gained during the five years of engineering course work. It provides the student with the oppertunity to take what they have learned in the classroom and apply it to real world experence. The course and project forces students to make engineering decisions and execute them which is an essential quality to become a successful engineer.

CPEP Reflection

I think that the use of the electronic portfolio was beneficial for the course. It allowed employers to review the work of potential candidates, and it was a good way to organize and summarize each student's work throughout the year.
