While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work-in-progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Jason Sambolt. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design.

AE 481W/482 Reflection

Senior thesis was a good opportunity to get a feel for the type of work we will be performing after graduation. The type of work involved working at our own pace. I feel this will help me stay on task and meet deadlines in my future career. Overall, I feel more prepared to start my career after completing my thesis.

The thesis project itself gives the opportunity for students to work on a topic that they are currently interested in. This is essential to the success of a thesis project. The fact that I was interested in the type of system I was redesign provided motivation throughout the semester.

CPEP Reflection

I feel the CPEP site kept me organized throughout the year. Without the constant updating it is possible to lose track of upcoming deadlines which would have resulting in falling behind.
