Reflection The combined fall and spring semesters of AE481W and AE 482 have been two of my most experience filled semesters. I found that there is a difference between the classroom and what you might find in construction documents, but that I have become well learned in applying the former to the latter. The fall semester was found to be helpful in practicing skills for evaluating existing buildings and I believe I have become much more in depth with these evaluations. The spring semester is where I feel I was allowed to be let loose and really test what I have learned. The semester developed into a reading and testing adventure of both review and new material. The final result of my experiment did not have the result I wanted, but in the end I am a better student and a better prospective engineer for. I will take these lessons into my profession and carry them with me always. CPEP Reflection The CPEP websites were a very helpful tool for displaying and updating our work. I also believe they had the addded advantage of making us take a step back from our work and consider how someone who is not deeply involved in our project may view our work. All in all we are attempting to enter an industry that involves great leveels of communication and cooperation; I see the CPEP websites as a giant step to entering the industry.

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web‐based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year‐long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.
