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 herwith 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 Philip Corrie. 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 the thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design.

Reflection

AE 481W / AE 482 Reflection

Senior Thesis was the most worthwhile academic experience of my undergraduate studies. I was able to strengthen and reinforce my time management and communication skills. I learned alot about myself throughout the experience. I learned that self discipline is a charcteristic that I can pride myself in. Also, with each time I practiced and delivered my thesis presentation I was improving my public speaking skills. While maintaining the CPEP was burdensome at times, it was an excellent tool that I was able utilize to showcase my work. I would like to thank everbody involved with Penn State AE and everybody that provided me support along the way.

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 reasearch and analysis conducted via guidlines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.
