Course Reflection:

The Senior Thesis Capstone Project was a great way integrate five years of Architectural Engineering studies at Penn State.The fall semester allowed the students a period of time to dive into the project and to gain an understanding of the building and its systems through the wrriting of three technical reports. After these technical reports were completed the fall semester concluded by proposing four analysis areas to study in depth that could benefit the project. In the spring semester these analyses were conducted with the help of the actual project team, Penn State faculty, and other advisors. The results of these analyses were detailed in a final writen report and through a final presentation. The Senior Thesis Capstone Project prooved to be one of my most challenging academic courses and at the same time one of the most beneficial to my development as a future Architectural Engineer.

 

CPEP Reflection:

The Capstone E-Portfolio is used to showcase the work that is completed during the course of the Senior Thesis Capstone Project. It makes sharing the work done during the couse of the semester very easy and now after the course is complete it can serve as a reference to futire students and any other interested parties.

About AE Senior Thesis:

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web‐based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year‐long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering. For an explanation of this capstone design course and its requirements click here.

 

 

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‐inprogress for this thesis project.
