About Chris

Chris Dunlay is a fifth year senior in the architectural engineering program at The Pennsylvania State University. In May 2012 he will graduate with a B.A.E with a focus on structural design. He has passed his Fundamentals of Engineering Exam and plans on taking the LEED GA Exam (Spring '12).

Chris spent 10 weeks in Europe in the summer of 2010. Seven weeks were devoted to a study abroad program in Rome, Italy with the sede di roma program. It was twelve credit program that he considers a defining experience for not only his education but also his life.

Chris spent his 2008 and 2011 summers interning with Graziano Construction and Development Co., Inc. There he served as a project engineer under the project director. Performing estimates, bids, proposals, and preparing project documents. His hand on experience with smaller venue of work prepared well for his professional career.

In the summer of 2009 Chris worked with P.J. Dick Inc. on the University Sciences Building in Northeastern, USA. There he performed similar duties and was exposed to all facets of construction. The building encompassed very interesting structural components which ultimately lead him to deciding this building for his senior thesis.

Chris is an active member of the student society of architectural engineers and currently serves as a mentor to other students. He also served as captain in NECA’s green energy challenge in 2010.
