AE 481/482 Reflection

This Penn State Senior Thesis was an opportunity to demonstrate the education and experience gathered over the last five years studying Architectural Engineering. Over the course of the 2015-2016 academic year, the Anthem House was analyzed in order to find areas in which the construction process, various systems, and key components (such as budget and schedule) could be optimized in a way that would better the team, the owner, and the construction industry. The Fall semester focused on the existing circumstances of the structure and project, while the Spring semester allowed for redesign and reevalutions opportunities in the project.

CPEP Reflection

By tracking my progress through CPEP, I was able to display my research and conclusions in an organized manner that can be accessed by anyone interested in the outcomes. Prior to this website, I had no experience with web design, but it was a great opportunity and learning experience.
