AE 481W/482 Course Reflection:

The AE Senior Thesis project was an extremely valuable experience.The program allows the student to follow through with the analysis of an existing structure during the construction phrase and ultimately enable the student to explore topics not necessarily covered in the AE curriculum. Because my topic was not covered in class, it presented me with the challenge of learning and researching the various topics associated with base isolation. I believe that this replicates the condition at an industy job much more than any class could have produced.

CPEP Reflection:

The CPEP was also a valuable tool in assisting the student in submitting a majority of the thesis assignments in an online fashion for the general public to view. The website was relatively easy to create and maintain throughout both semesters with the use of Adobe Dreamweaver. Looking forward, it also has the added benefit of sharing the thesis work done with industy professionals as well as the public.
