The AE Senior Capstone Thesis Project will be an experience that I will look back on for years to come. The Capstone Project has allowed me to apply the knowledge I have learned from all areas of architectural engineering within the analysis and redesign of my building. It is important for one to analyze the current building as was done in the first semester, but it does not need to be a semester long process. It could be done in a shorter amount of time so that as young aspiring engineers, we have the ability to explore different areas of redesign.

     The ability to apply the knowledge from both my Bachelors and Masters is an experience that I will last me a lifetime. Applying real world work through these courses has allowed me to apply knowledge of field work. 

     Another crucial aspect especially within the mechanical option is that there is no structure for how to approach senior thesis. Every other option has it laid out for them what they need to do, but with mechanical, it was so spread out and diverse. In some ways this could be a good thing because why limit the potential of a student.

      All in all I had a great experience with my Senior Thesis, and enjoyed being able to design a Combined Heat and Power unit that I will one day like to incorporate in real life projects in the field.
