Senior Thesis Reflection

The Penn State Department of Architectural Engineering Senior Thesis Project is a challenging, but rewarding final project of the undergraduate Architectural Engineering program. The Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering, located in Greensboro, NC, was an intensive project that allowed for in-depth analyses and innovative thinking to be encouraged. The four analyses performed offered solutions that can enhance the facility and its operations. The year long program, broken down into two semesters, covered the technical details of the building and then moved on to performing research analysis in the spring to produce the final report. The senior thesis taught me how to efficiently research and analyze building systems while looking for alternative solutions to improve the quality of the construction and operation of the building.

The Capstone E-Portfolio is an efficient means of documenting and organizing a student’s progress throughout the entire thesis project.
