Senior Thesis Reflection

This year long capstone project has allowed me the opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge I have gained through the last 5 years of  studying Architectural Engineering and completing internships. The Ringgold School District and entire project team were extremely helpful in helping me obtain this project to use as a model and in providing me all the necessary information I needed. Through in-depth technical analyses of my project during the Fall semester, I was able to gain a strong background of the current project attributes. This knowledge then gave me the ability to dive deeper into certain areas that could improve the new middle school construction and project as a whole. The Spring semester culminated with a full report and presentation on the results of studying the criteria selected for analysis based on design, cost, schedule, and research. Overall, this senior thesis project has helped prepare me to enter the industry with confidence to take on any challenge thrown my way.
