AE 481W/882 Course Reflection

Throughout the course of the last year, I was able to gain a valuable and better understanding of building systems through the research and analysis involved with the AE Senior Thesis project. The fall semester (AE 481W) was beneficial to learn about the existing project design and construction. The spring semester (AE 882) was also very enjoyable and beneficial through individual research into alternative building methods and systems. I learned a great deal about the John Tyler Community College's Phase 2 New Building Project and aspects of it's construction process. There was a great deal of contact to various industry professionals from which I took valuable lessons learned through discussions with those individuals and will be able to apply this knowledge throughout my career.

CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection

The Capstone E-Portfolio management was a very interesting and valuable requirement for the AE Senior Thesis Project. I have had no previous experience designing and maintaining a website, and little training was provided. However, throughout the year, I have gained a great deal of understanding and appreciation for website management. Posting my thesis work on this website will serve as a valuable tool for the John Tyler Project, my colleagues, and potential future employers to view my thesis requirements and final work.
