Reflection

The BIM/IPD Thesis proved to be an extremely rewarding experience. The ability to develop clear, concise, multidisciplinary projects, plans, and documents will be invaluable in my future endeavors. I was able to enhance my talents as a mechanical engineer, while learning the roles of each team member throughout the design process. The lessons learned from thesis are unable to be taught in a typical class room, and are best experienced through individual exploration.

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) was used throughout the course to organize and present my IPD/BIM Thesis. CPEP effectively helped me produce a resource for current and future professionals to review my team’s work.
