Reflection

I have learned much these last two semesters through AE481W and AE482. These courses were crucial for developing reserach and design skills nessecary to be successful out of the classroom. In addition, it has connected me with industry professionals and Penn State faculty members. Using a CPEP website was a very useful tool for displaying and updating all thesis work. The website was very helpful for communication between faculty and students. Communication is extremly important in the architectual engineering industry and the CPEP website has better prepared me to start a professional career.

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 Kevin Andreone. 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.
