I gained a lot of knowledge from submersing myself into areas that I was not familiar with, but overall made me a better engineer. Working on projects that are similar to what will be done in industry gives you an advantage compared to other students from other programs without a thesis background. Not only does this focus on a mechanical depth that is of interest for you, but focusing on breadths that are impacted from your decisions. Many times, a decision is made for the best potential outcome for your discipline without evaluating the effect on other areas of focus. This allows you to do a full circle evaluation, as any design that you pick will then have to be fixed by you. This experience has been something very special to be apart of, as many other universities are not as lucky and honored to have. This opens doors for you; what you put into it will be rewarded with its output.

Designing this website was a lot of fun and was a way to show off the work that was completed. It was a way to determine what illustrations are important, catch the eye, and convey the strongest message. This compilation of aesthetics and project results is a once in a lifetime opportunity, as many will be designing drawings that are two-dimensional and more technical than aesthetic to the eye. Taking advantage of it may open doors at your company to prove a point for a system design, making you an overall leader.

THESIS CRITIQUE

CPEP REVIEW

ABET SURVEY

Note for users: 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 designed and construction methodologies for this senior thesis are solely the interpretation of Ryan Schulok. 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.
