User Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work-in-progress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Eric Foster. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design. |

AE 481W/482 Course Reflection
AE Senior Thesis in a highly extensive year long program for 5th year AE students. Designed to challenge and prepare them for real world experiences, this project provides the opportunity for students to apply the knowledge gained in the previous eight semesters to actual design and project obstacles. This experience proved very beneficial to my future plans and career goals as this thesis helped me better understand the type of design work my company provides services for; along with developing a sense of judgment for making engineering-related decisions on a project. Upon completion of this project, I feel very confident of my skills to enter the professional world of engineering.
CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection
The CPEP & Discussion Board were very helpful during the course of this year long project. The information made available by the design professionals volunteering as Mentors was a very vaulable resource for Thesis. The Board allowed these mentors to answer many questions that industry professionals have actually encountered in the field.

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 purose, 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.
