AE 481W/482 COURSE REFLECTION

For the first semester of my senior thesis - AE 481W - research on the current design and construction of the building was completed. Three technical assignments consisted of project costs, projects schedule, and components of the buildings systems as well as client information, projects delivery method, staffing, and site layouts. After attending the PACE Roundtable at the end of the semester, further interest into issues facing the construction industry developed. During the second semester - AE 482 - I worked on researching and analyzing the proposal I developed in the first semester with the help of AE faculty, industry members, family, and friends.

With a few scheduled meetings during the first semester and even less in the second semester, this senior thesis experience allowed students to progress on their own schedule with a lot of freedom.

CPEP & DISCUSSION BOARD REFLECTION

Having the opportunity to design my own CPEP website allowed me to grow as a student and as a professional. With access to the discussion board, it was easy to contact industry members and to receive course announcements quickly.
