Welcome to James Rodgers's Senior Thesis Biography |
| |
James Rodgers is a fifth year architectural Engineering student at Penn State who has chosen to study in the mechanical option, which focuses on the design of HVAC systems in buildings. He will graduate in May 2012 with an Integrated Bachelor and Master of Architectural Engineering Degree. Upon his graduation he will receive EIT status. James also participated in the Sede di Roma summer abroad program where he studied for seven weeks in Rome and earned a minor in Architectural Studies.
James has a strong interest in BIM practices and the concept of integrated project delivery. In the spring of 2011 he was enrolled in the BIM inter-disciplinary studio, an award winning studio class that brings all four AE focuses (Construction Managment, Lighting/Electrical, Mechanical, Structural) together along with an architect and landscape architect. In this class students are deeply involved in a six-person team project that focuses on collaborative design and the use of cutting edge BIM software.
The skills and knowledge James developed in BIM Studio prepared him well for his internship at SmithGroup in the summer of 2011. There, James worked on two interiors projects and was able to see them through from start to 100% construction documents. He also developed the schematic design, for a medical office building and research facility, as part of a multi-disciplinary team.
Outside of academics James has taken up leadership position in organization such as Student Society of Architectural Engineers (treasurer), ASHRE(treasurer), and Phi Alpha Epsilon(president). In his free time he enjoys participating in several different intramural sports. |

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-in-progress 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 this BIM/IPD group. 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; therefore, investigation results may vary from the original design. |
