Student Biography of John P. Mulhern

John Mulhern is currently a 5th year Architectural Engineering Student at The Pennsylvania State University.  He will graduate in May 2009 with a Bachelor of Architectural Engineering Degree.  John studied architecture in Rome in the Sedi Di Roma Program, which allowed him to achieve a minor.  John has passed the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, and he intends to be LEED certified by December 2008

John has undergone an internship as an electrical intern in the Summer of 2008 with Cannon Design, an internationally ranked architectural engineering firm.   He has worked in the past for his uncle’s electrical engineering firm.  John has even been on numerous construction sites for his father’s electrical contracting firm in Philadelphia’s Local Electrician’s Union 98.  This hard work he endured over these summers made him appreciate a college degree and learn the many tools of the electrical trade.    

John enjoys many outdoor activities such as snowboarding, basketball, golf, and fishing.  He values his family more than anything in life.  He has participated in Relay for Life and THON before, major charity events at Penn State University.  John is a very easy person to get along with.   

John, being heavily influenced by his family of electrical engineers and enthusiasm for mathematics, chose to focus his study to electrical design of buildings.  However he hopes to be a well rounded engineer with his background in lighting design
