AE 481W/AE 482 Course Reflection


I feel that that the Architectural Engineering Senior Thesis courses were effective in preparing me for the future.  These courses were successful in pulling together the courses and knowledge gained over the past 5 years at Penn State.  In addition, I feel my communication skills, through writing and presenting, have been enhanced.  Both the breadth and construction depth requirements allowed me to obtain knowledge in other areas as well as looking into critical industry issues.  Overall I feel the coursework was a good culmination of my work here at Penn State and has helped prepare me for the future.

 

CPEP Reflection

I feel the CPEP was an effective tool in communicating information.  It allows work and progress to be shared effectively with faculty, current and future students, and industry members.  In addition the creation of a website allowed me to develop skills in using a tool which could be effective in the future. 

 

   

 

User 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 Mark Speicher. 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.
