Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of Christopher Ankeny. 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

During fall Semester, assignments helped us to get familiarized with our project so that we could start thinking about our ideas for the proposal. During spring semester we had the freedom to explore the building in more detail and finalize our proposal. Thesis gave me the opportunity to see a project from a different perspective. This past year I have learned many things that one could only learn by focusing on one project and studying it in detail.

 

CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection

The CPEP website helped students to maintain and show all their work in an organized way. The discussion boards helped students to get help from industry members. The discussion boards were very helpful for most students. That is why they were used all semester. I think that having input from industry members is more valuable that any numbers from a book.
