Thesis Reflection

 

Senior Thesis Course

The Capstone Project was the most difficult task I have ever undertaken, as it should be. This was the ultimate demonstration of all my accumulated architectural engineering knowledge and it did a good job of demanding its full use. It was also great at promoting self-actualization when it came to selecting areas of analysis that I wanted to focus on instead of being handed specific analyses to perform for a class. Finally, this project did a great job at promoting industry research and interviewing. All of these skills will be essential to my future work in the construction industry.

 

CPEP site

This website was indeed an effective tool for communicating my progress over the past year to the AE faculty. I also feel that it's a great resource for future thesis students to reference. I made use of numerous past CPEP sites when looking for ideas for formatting and structure of both my papers. I just wish that when the tutorial class for creating the websites was done, in addition to covering the use of Dreamweaver, the use of free website creators like Wix was also covered. That way, students can make a more informed decision about which option is better for their ideas and capabilities.

User 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 Jeffrey Duclos. 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.
