AE 481W/482 Course Reflection

The overall senior thesis project has been a very positive experience. Thesis allowed me to utilize a wide variety of the knowledge I gained in the past 4 years in the AE program. Researching possible changes to improve the project enforced many of the skills, techniques and general responsibilities of a construction manager. This research allowed me to interact with industry professionals and gain valuable communication skills. Thesis allowed me to demonstrate my knowledge with in the AE discipline while also exploring other sides of the industry.

 

CPEP Reflection

The CPEP webpage was very effective medium to display information to faculty, industry and the whole world. Designing the webpage was challenging, but turned out to be very straight forward once familiar with the software. The use of this website will benefit not only me but the students following in our footsteps, providing examples and ideas for their future projects.

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.”
