ABET OUTCOME SURVEY

COURSE REFLECTION

Senior Thesis was very challenging and unique opportunity to showcase all knowledge that I had obtained over the last five years. It taught me how all building systems work together and how all elements of the project team have to come together in order to deliver a successful project.  In my opinion, the most challenging aspects of AE Senior Thesis was the nature of submissions during the second semester. During this semester, it was up to the students to organize their time management and set their own delivery dates for each individual analysis. Spring semester was also very challenging because was no clear cut set way for completing your project. Students were forced to think creatively in order to achieve their goals just as industry professional do. The Capstone Project was a very useful tool in making the jump from student to professional.

CPEP REFLECTION

The Capstone E-Portfolio was one of the most time consuming aspects of the entire thesis process. Having very little experience with Dreamweaver made life very difficult. Dreamweaver is not the most “user friendly” program and was at times frustrating. All things considered, the CPEP sites are an interesting and effective way to get noticed by not only industry professionals but also your fellow students. I also think they are an effective tool for archiving and provides an invaluable resource of information for future students.
