Senior Capstone Project (CPEP):

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. For an explanation of this capstone design course and its requirements click here.

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 Tyler Meek. 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; herefore,investigation results may vary from the original
design.

Tyler Meek is enduring his fifth and final year in the Architectural Engineering Program at The Pennsylvania State University. Upon graduation in May 2011, Tyler will be granted his integrated Bachelor/Master of Architectural Engineering with a focus in structural engineering. During his time at Penn State, Tyler has been involved in many athletic, social and extracurricular school sanctioned activities. He is currently Vice President of the student chapter of SEA along with being President of Phi Alpha Epsilon, the Architectural Engineering Honor Society. Tyler is also a member of the Mentorship Program sponsored by SSAE, the Student Society of Architectural Engineers, and a proud member of the AE Envoy team, a group of students selected by faculty to provide guided tours to interested students and guests of the department.

Aside from professional-student organizations, Tyler was named Mr. AE in 2009 after a stunning rendition of “YMCA” by the Village People. Tyler spent part of his 2009 summer studying abroad in Rome, Italy as part of the Sede di Roma Program provided by the AE department. If you ask him, Tyler will tell you that he learned countless things while in Rome; some about architecture and engineering but many more about himself.

Tyler spent this most recent summer working with Cannon Design in Boston, Mass. While with Cannon, he was able to put what he has learned in the classroom to use and become aware of the working world. After getting a taste of life after college, Tyler is very eager to graduate and begin his career.
