User Note:

Note: 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 Ryan Sarazen. 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.
 
 

The Senior Thesis project displayed on this site was the culmination of a years worth of hard work and effort. The entire process, while stressfull at times, ended up being a very rewarding expierience upon its completion. The project helped to tie together materials and concepts learned throughout the previous five years in the AE program. The completion of the final report and presentation, as well as the many steps along the way, would not have been possible without the help of numerous professors, industry members, classmates, or family members. The CPEP site, while difficault to manipulate in the beginning, acts a good summary of all that has been acomplished through my Senior Thesis process.

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web-based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year-long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering. For an explanation of this capstone design course and its requirements click here.
