 “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 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.”
 
 
 
REFLECTION


 AE 481W/482 Course Reflection

The senior capstone project provided a great outlet and opportunity to showcase the knowledge and information learned through 5 years of schooling. The use of a real world project enhanced the experience and made it more valuable and beneficial to my future. Some of the key concepts learned over the project were: time management, transition from design concept to actual design, accuracy of results and the overall impact of a small change in relation to the bigger picture.
After surviving the year-long project, I believe that I am ready and able to enter the workforce as a Lighting / Electrical Engineer.

CPEP & Discussion Board Reflection

The overall concept of the CPEP websites is a great idea, however it was not utilized enough as a proper means of expressing work, whether it be on-going or past analysis. The use of hard copy reports and projects limits the ability of the CPEP to be used to its full capacity.

The discussion board is a tool that is important for students to interact with business professionals on a more informal level in order to better understand their design projects. It was helpful in answering questions that arose throughout the semester, as well as providing an outlet to propose ideas and modifications to projects in order to see if they are beneficial and actually feasible in the real world.

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.
