Kyle Pepperman

 

Kyle excelled in art, design, and woodworking throughout high school, winning many awards for his pieces at local art shows.  Art wasn’t his only forte however, with a strong base in math and science, Kyle was ranked in the top ten of his graduating class.  He found the Architectural Engineering major with a focus in mechanical systems at Penn State to be an excellent way to combine his strong background in art and design with his aptitude for math and science.  Throughout his undergraduate education Kyle has been able to hone these skills through a combination of rigorous classes, internships, and hands on work.

During the summer of 2003, Kyle participated in a split internship between LLI Technologies, Inc. and McKamish, Inc. in which he was able to gain experience with both the design side and estimating/contracting side of mechanical systems.  While at LLI Technologies, Inc. he was the lead mechanical designer for a historic renovation of a small local railroad station.

Kyle is currently employed by two departments at The Pennsylvania State University, one of which he is able to use his engineering skills as a mechanical intern at the Office of Physical Plant, and the other he is able to use his wood working skills at the Center for Engineering Design and Entrepreneurship wood shop.  Tasks at the Office of Physical Plant include the redesign and updating of existing mechanical systems in order to improve indoor air quality and energy conservation.  Duties in the CEDE wood shop include student training sessions, maintenance and upkeep of the machines, and various cabinetry/woodworking projects.

Kyle has also been an active member with Habitat for Humanity since he was in high school.  He most recently participated in the Spring Break Collegiate Challenge in Columbus, GA.  During his time spent working with Habitat, Kyle has been involved in all aspects of on-site residential construction, and has since been able to share his knowledge with new volunteers.
