REFLECTION
On Senior Thesis
During the past year in Senior Thesis, the work I have performed has allowed me to utilize the skills I have gained during my time as an architectural engineering major. Having the opportunity to evaluate an actual existing building under construction and propose alternative design solutions gave me the chance to understand and experience important considerations and various processes I would be involved with after graduation. Communicating with peers, faculty, and outside professionals throughout the course gave me valuable insight, and overall, Senior Thesis will have more prepared when I begin my own professional career.
On CPEP
CPEP was a very useful medium, helping me organize and display my progress throughout Senior Thesis. In addition, it acts as a wonderful resource to demonstrate my ideas and methods to prospective employers and other interested individuals.
