Rachel Barrow - Lighting/Electrical

Rachel Barrow is currently in her 5th year of study at the Pennsylvania State University and will graduate in May 2013. She is studying Architectural Engineering with a focus in Lighitng/Electrical design. She will also graduate with three minors: French and Francophone Studies, Architectural Studies, and International Studies. This past April, Rachel passed the Fundamentals of Engineering Exam, and will have EIT stauts upon graduation. Rachel is a member of the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES).

This past summer, Rachel had a lighting design internship with Atelier Ten, and international environmental and lighting design company that focuses on creating environmentally-conscious buildings. This experience has helped her to grow professionally, as well as academically, by enabling her to see many aspects of the lighting industry. After graduation, Rachel looks forward to entering the working-world as a lighting designer.

Outside of school, Rachel is involved with multiple bands on campus. For the last three years, she has been a member for both the Fall Athletic Band, which plays for the women's volleyball games, as well as a member of the Pride of the Lions basketball pep band. Rachel has also been an active member of the Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance MaraTHON by being a member of the OPPerations committee for three years.

Senior Thesis

Penn State University

Architectural Engineering

AE Computer Lab

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 Nexus. 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.
