Technical Assignments

 

Technical Assignment 1: Construction Project Management
This portion of fall thesis is intended to familiarize the students with the conditions under which their building is constructed and the scope of work.

Technical Assignment 2: Cost and Methods Analysis
This section of thesis will allow the students to analyze the key features of the project that affect project execution.

Technical Assignment 3: Alternative Methods and Research
The last technical part of the thesis allows for the identification of areas of the project that are good candidates for research, alternative methods, value engineering, and schedule compression.

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 Laurel Warner. 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.

  
 
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 purpose, 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.
