Jesse Bordeau is a fifth year student studying Architectural Engineering at Penn State University.  He is currently working on his senior project and intends to graduate in May 2016 upon completion of his thesis presentation.  In October, Jesse took and passed his Fundamentals of Engineering exam in order to earn E.I.T status upon graduation.  

In his time here at Penn State, Jesse is the current treasurer of Habitat for Humanity, and member of the Structural Engineers Association (SEA), and the Student Society of Architectural Engineers (SSAE).  In Summer 2014, Jesse enjoyed the experience of studying abroad in Rome for seven weeks primarily learning about Architecture.  Over the course of his stay, he  took classes in: Roman Architecture, Natural Daylighting Techniques, Cartography and a studio class.

This past summer, he got the opportunity to intern for Jacobs Engineering Group in Conshohocken, Pa.  He got practical experience by: creating and revising drawings utilizing Microstation and AutoCad, performing a Lateral Wind Analysis on a 4-story building (interpreting the Eurocode and Swedish Wind Code), and approximating brace frame sizes based on loads.

When he is not busy with school work, Jesse enjoys playing Intermural sports, working out, exploring the outdoors (especially the Adirondack Mountains), taking pictures, and designing and building his own  structures.

Upon graduation, Jesse has plans to work for Schlosser Steel, Inc. located in Hatfield, Pa where he will continue to exercise his engineering skills as an Entry-Level Structural Engineer.
