Welcome to Tim Mueller's AE Senior Thesis e-Portfolio
TIMOTHY MUELLER
graduated from North Hills High School in May of 2001. Following graduation,
Tim began studying Architecture at The Pennsylvania State University. He soon
realized that his success in the sciences was not being utilized, and subsequently
began a transition into the Architectural Engineering department. He was accepted
into the ABET accredited program in the spring of 2003, and gained acceptance
into the integrated masters program a year later. He will graduate in December
of 2006 with both a Bachelor and Master of Architectural Engineering. He has
chosen the structural option in pursuit of his degree, due in large part to
his strong background in steel and concrete design, as well as an understanding
of all major building systems. He has been able to obtain construction knowledge
though work with his family's construction company, Bortmess Custom Homes.
He has also sharpened his understanding of both construction management and
lighting electrical systems though an internship with Truland Systems.
In his free time,
Tim is involved in several extracurricular academic and professional programs
at the Pennsylvania State University. He is President of Phi Sigma Pi, a National
Honors Fraternity, and is President of the National Association of Homebuilders,
Penn State Student Chapter. Additionally, Tim is a member of Mortar Board
(National Senior Honors Society), the National Collegiate Scholars, the Student
Society of Architectural Engineers, and is an assistant to the Architectural
Engineering department.
