Collin Jones is currently a fifth year studying Architectural Engineering at the Pennsylvania State University. With a focus on electrical design for buildings, he will graduate in May 2017 with a Bachelor's degree in Architectural Engineering. Collin is currently a member of the Illuminating Engineering Society (Penn State Chapter of IES) and Student Society of Architectural Engineers (Penn State Chapter of AEI). He spent one year on the executive board of SSAE, helping out other executive members with the planning of upcoming events and communicating information about events to new and returning members.  

 

For the past three years, Collin has spent his summer months as an intern at Paragon Engineering Services, Inc. based in York, Pennsylvania. During his time there, he learned how to design and layout various lighting and electrical systems for a variety of building projects. In addition to electrical power distribution and lighting design, Collin is also interested in lighting controls, communication, and life safety systems for buildings. In the short term, Collin plans on taking the FE Exam and is looking forward to working at an electrical engineering consulting firm.

 

Along with his passion for electrical design, Collin also loves architecture. He enjoys travelling and exploring cities. In his free time, he likes to play tennis with friends and learn new songs on the piano. At the end of Spring semester, Collin hopes to have a well-rounded knowledge of building systems design and work in the engineering field to make buildings better and safer for the people who inhabit them.
