Student Bio

Peter Clarke is currently enrolled in the Architectural Engineering program at the Pennsylvania State University. In May 2010, he will graduate with a bachelor degree in Architectural Engineering with an emphasis on mechanical systems. Peter will be an EIT upon graduation and has been a member of Penn State’s student chapter of ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air-conditioning Engineers) for over a year.

For the past three summers, Peter has begun his professional career through a number of internships. Garrett/George Associates introduced him to architectural design and the building industry. His internship with KlingStubbins provided an overview of the fundamentals of mechanical and plumbing design. Since May of 2009, Peter has been working at Penn State’s Office of the Physical Plant (OPP) as a Continuous Commissioning Intern. He has been given the unique opportunity to give back to Penn State by optimizing university buildings and their systems for energy efficiency. Peter’s professional goals are to work in an industry-leading firm as a mechanical designer. He is becoming familiar with Building Information Modeling (BIM) through the pilot program of the BIM/IPD Senior Thesis. Upon graduation, he will pursue his Professional Engineer license and becoming a LEED Accredited Professional. Outside of school, Peter’s hobbies include hiking, playing Frisbee and brewing beer.
