This is a student-generated Capstone Project E-Portfolio (CPEP) produced in conjunction with the AE Senior Thesis E-Studio

Course Reflection:

The Senior Thesis Capstone Project required the past five years of Architectural Engineering studies and knowledge that was obtained at Penn State University. During the fall semester, several technical reports were created to develop and in-depth understanding of the building and building systems. During the spring semester, four depth analyses were conducted to determine alternative solutions that may positively affect the cost or schedule of the project. This work was then utilized to generate a final report and presentation. This process helped create a work ethic of researching an analyzing a building and building systems to determine alternatives to construction problems.

 

CPEP Reflection:

Utilizing the Capstone E-Portfolio was a great way for students to display and record their progress throughout the senior thesis process. Utilizing this tool was a benefit to both the students and faculty to showcase and verify the work being done throughout each semester.
