CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection:
The Senior Thesis website, also known as my CPEP page, was a great tool to allow others to see what I was doing throughout the course of the school year. Incorporating the CPEP into the requirements of the project, not only allows everyone to see the work involved in an AE Senior Thesis, but it also forces students to learn the basics of web design. I feel this is an important skill that all should learn with technology continuing to evolve. This CPEP requirement also lets students be more creative in presenting their findings and so their artistic or professional qualities.
The Discussion Board that was used for Senior Thesis was meant to allow easy communication between professionals in the AEC industry as well as professors and other students. This gave the students a great wealth of knowledge at their fingertips. This discussion board not only helped students get in touch with industry members, but it also showed fellow students what they were researching setting up the opportunity for students to help each other throughout the school year.
