Student Bio
 


 As a fifth year in Architectural Engineering at The Pennsylvania State University, Bradley Sisenwain looks forward to his May 2009 graduation with a Bachelor of Architectural Engineering.  Bradley’s early interest in the theatre, drawing and mathematics has translated over to his college career.  In the Lighting/Electrical focus of his major, Brad feels he can apply an even balance of creativity and technologies to benefit architecture and inhabitants.

During his stay at Penn State, Bradley participated in a wide array of activities; intramural roller hockey, four semesters of collecting researched at Penn State Pulse, member of the lighting design team for Solar Decathlon 2009 Natural Fusion, Member of ISE (Illuminating Engineering Society Student Chapter) and avid rollerblader.  During the summer of 2007, Brad worked for Alexander Building Construction in State College, PA, while construction neared completion on the Bellefonte Army Reserve Center in Pleasant Gap, PA.  There he gained new perspective on the construction industry and developed a well-rounded knowledge of the building industry.  Brad passed the FE Exam during the fall 2007 semester at school.  In the summer of 2008, he was employed by Horton Lees Brogden Lighting Design.  Here he was able to add to his growing knowledge on the lighting community and its practices. 

At HLB, Brad experienced meeting building codes, daylighting harvesting and controls, as well as tests and requirements for LEED certification.  He plans to become LEED accredited prior to graduation.  After graduation Bradley intends on spending time traveling and entering the industry as a designer for a lighting firm.
