-- Course Reflection--
Over the course of the 2013/2014 academic calendar year, the Senior Thesis Capstone Project focused around analyzing the design and construction of the Mary J. Drexel Home Assisted Living Project to identify areas in which alternate means and methods could have
resolved any challenges or problems that may have affected the efficiency of the project. The fall semester involved developing three in-depth technical reports, which helped gain an understanding of the building systems and construction processes implented on the project. During the spring semester, four analyses were developed to further improve the project. The main goal of these analyses was to find ways to provide additional cost savings, reduce schedule, or improve quality and safety. All this was research was compiled into a final report and presenation. This year long process helped me learn how to apply effective research in understanding and analyzing building systems and developing alternate solutions to resolve any construction challenges or problems.
-- CPEP Reflection --
Using the Capstone E-Portfolio was a great tool and allowed for students to publish their work and record their progress throughout the senior thesis process. This tool proved to be benefical to both students and faculty as many reports did not need to printed and everyone has access to all the information needed for either grading or general interest in viewing the work performed.
