Senior Thesis Reflection

The IPD/ BIM thesis ended up being a highly valuable learning experience that allowed me to learn concepts that I would not have been able to during the course of a typical thesis project. In particular, I was able to strengthen areas that I was weak in by having to work in depth across all four options. As a construction engineer on the project, I also learned valuable team management and coordination techniques that cannot be taught in any classroom and are not learned in a typical AE thesis.

This project gave me a fantastic opportunity to not only apply the construction engineering techniques that I learned in classes, but also gave me the opportunity to see how my discipline impacted other groups firsthand.
CPEP Reflection
The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) used to display the work of the senior thesis project was a very valuable tool. Through the use of this site, I have been able to keep potential employers, friends, and family updated on the progress of my year-long thesis project.
