Kieran Carlisle is a fifth year Architectural Engineering student at The Pennsylvania State University, focusing on building mechanical systems. He anticipates graduating in December 2014 with an Integrated Bachelor/Master of Architectural Engineering degree, with a minor in French and Francophone Studies. Kieran passed the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam in April 2012 and will gain EIT status upon graduation.

Over the past two summers, Kieran has completed two internships in the Washington D.C. area. In the summer of 2013, he interned with internationally recognized AE firm, AECOM, in their Arlington, VA office. Kieran aided AECOM’s building engineering branch in HVAC design, mechanical calculations, and interdisciplinary collaboration. During the summer of 2012, he interned with electrical subcontractor, Truland Systems, working alongside construction managers on a medical research center renovation.  Kieran spent the summer of 2011 abroad, studying the French language and culture at the Université de Franche-Comté in Besançon, France.

While on campus, Kieran stays actively involved in a variety of social and professional organizations. He is currently Co-President of Global Water Brigades, a student-led global health and sustainable development organization, having volunteered with local communities in both Honduras and Ghana.

Note: While great efforts have been taken to provide accurate and complete information on the pages of CPEP, please be aware that the information contained herewith is considered a work‐inprogress for this thesis project. Modifications and changes related to the original building designs and construction methodologies for this senior thesis project are solely the interpretation of AEVITAS. Changes and discrepancies in no way imply that the original design contained errors or was flawed. Differing assumptions, code references, requirements, and methodologies have been incorporated into this thesis project; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design.

The Capstone Project Electronic Portfolio (CPEP) is a web-based project and information center. It contains material produced for a year‐long Senior Thesis class. Its purpose, in addition to providing central storage of individual assignments, is to foster communication and collaboration between student, faculty consultant, course instructors, and industry consultants. This website is dedicated to the research and analysis conducted via guidelines provided by the Department of Architectural Engineering.
