AE 481W & AE 882 Reflection:
This senior thesis experience of Architectural Engineering has been very beneficial. The past five years of study at Penn State University were utilized in completing this senior thesis year. After completing this thesis year, I feel confident in both my learned technical and communicative skills within Architectural Engineering.
CPEP Discussion Board Reflection:
The CPEP discussion board was a great resource for all Architectural Engineering senior thesis students. Practicing professionals provided timely responses to questions asked. It is also a great communicative tool connecting college students with practicing professionals, before entering the work force.
