The AE Senior Thesis Program was an invaluable part of my fifth-year Architectural Engineering curriculum at Penn State University. The program encouraged the development of both technical and professional skills that I will utilize in the workplace. It provided me with the opportunity to implement coursework from all five years of my education, and also allowed me to effectively communicate with fellow students, professors, and industry professionals. In the end, I feel that senior thesis was a successful way to finish my Penn State studies and prepare me for my career as a structural engineer.
  
     
  CPEP Reflection  
     
 
The CPEP site was an extremely useful tool in organizing and presenting the material of Senior Thesis. I was able to display what I had done throughout the year to faculty, professionals, and my family and friends.
  
     
 
 
 
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‐inprogress 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 William McDevitt. 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 originaldesign.
