Adam Senk is pursuing a professional career at The Pennsylvania State University’s Architectural Engineering program. Adam is currently in his fifth year of study, specializing in Building Mechanical Systems. He plans on graduating in May 2006 with a Bachelor in Architectural Engineering.

In addition to his five years of education, Adam has also gained a better understanding of mechanical systems and the construction industry through his summer work and intern experiences. One of the newest jewels on the University Park campus is the Information Sciences and Technology building, which spans North Atherton Street near downtown. Among the hundreds of people who worked on the project was Adam, who worked as a pipe fitter for the Farfield Company during the summer of 2003. The following summer he again worked for the Farfield Company, this time as a sheet metal worker at the Life Sciences and Chemistry buildings as they neared completion. Following his senior year, Adam completed his first internship with Reese Engineering. While there, he worked on several residential projects and school designs.

While attending Penn State Adam has engaged in variety of different activities. He is a fifth year senior on the Penn State football team, and has earned a varsity letter, along with All-Big Ten Academic honors, and has been awarded the Frank Patrick Award. In addition, Adam has taken part as both a participant and organizer of “The Lift For Life” charity event the football team sponsors to benefit the Kidney Cancer Foundation. Other activities include being a member of both the student and national branches of SSAE and ASHRAE.
