Reflections

Our curriculum only briefly introduces us to post-tensioned design and through the senior thesis program I was able to explore that area of interest and learned the computer software and concepts behind post-tensioned design. Senior thesis was in important process that took my education in the classroom and applied it to a real world scenario which I believe has helped prepare me to practice in the field of engineering.

The CPEP Website allowed me to keep a running portfolio of all the work and research I've done this year as a part of my senior thesis. The discussion board provided interaction between design professionals and students and enabled our questions to be answered in a timely manner. I believe having dedicated alumni plays a large role in the success of the AE program. Thank you!

 
 
 
             
   
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 Sonja Hinish. 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.
