ABET Reflection Survey [PDF]
|
The Penn State Architectural Engineering Senior Thesis Capstone project was used to allow me to demonstrate the knowledge I have gained through my architectural engineering education. By choosing to partake in the AEI team competition, I was put in a group of my peers from all four AE disciplines to effectively design and plan construction for an urban elementary school in Reading, Pennsylvania. Working in a team benefited me by having constant interaction with design disciplines. During design, I was responsible for evaluating decisions based on life cycle cost and constructability. Other responsibilities included site and phase planning. This experience was challenging, but allowed me to test my knowledge and gain an understanding of how an integrated approach can be successful.
CPEP Reflection
The CPEP site allows students to upload their progress and reports for faculty and professionals to view. This can serve as a portfolio for future employers to see the capstone project done by a student in their fifth year. The site shows the project team as well as construction reports and the presentation used when presenting to AEI judges.
