SENIOR THESIS REFLECTION

Now that our Senior Thesis Capstone Project is complete, it proved to be good method of combining 5 years of Architectural Engineering studies into one project. For me, the project was a chance to look into structural provisions outside of what is taught in the classroom while keeping in mind how all of the construction related disciplines must work together. After seeing what actual design work is like in an office, I think that this project is a great way to prepare students for the real world of engineering. It certainly was demanding when coupled with the rest of the course work, but it was certainly rewarding to successfully accomplish a project of this magnitude.

CPEP REFLECTION

When thesis started, I didn't really understand the need for the website. After completing the fall and spring semesters of thesis, I have realized that keeping a website for all of the thesis related work is a great way of keeping the material organized and easily accessible. I also found it helpful to see past students work to get a better idea of what was expected for the assignments. Maintaining this website was also rewarding in the sense that I feel comfortable with creating a website if I find the need to in the future.

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 James Chavanic. 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.
