What is CPEP?
The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is an online volume of the year-long thesis building research project for 5th-year Architectural Engineering students.  The e-Portfolio facilitates the spread of information not only between students but also between instructors and industry leaders in a convenient and efficient manner.  This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.

What is the AE Senior Thesis Experience?
The senior thesis experience is a culmination of the previous four years of discovery and application of building engineering concepts.  The experience will prepare seniors for immediate entrance into engineering positions upon graduation.  More information may be found at the Architectural Engineering Department's e-Studio website.

Special Thanks:
I would like to thank my project sponsors, John Reese, Eric Neilson, and Sue Heeman of Reese Engineering, for providing resources and the opportunity to use this building for my senior thesis project.  I would also like to thank Sara Sowers and David Minnix of Heapy Engineering for their assistance in obtaining valuable mechanical project information, and Kurt Kepler of Karl E. Kepler, Inc. for his valuable engineering assistance.  And lastly, thanks to my advisor Dr. Jim Freihaut for his insight and guidance throughout the senior thesis process.
