Ting is a fifth-year student at The Pennsylvania State University pursuing an Integrated Bachelor and Master Degree in Architectural Engineering - Structural Option. She will also be receiving a minor in Architectural Studies.

 

Since her second-year, Ting has worked as an academic teaching assistant for multiple courses. They are as follows; Introduction to Architectural Engineering, Fundamentals of HVAC, and Indeterminate Structures. Through her experience with this position, she has not only further advanced her knowledge in the course material but has also learned invaluable communication skills. Upon completion of her third-year, Ting attended a summer study abroad program in Rome, Italy, where she learned about fundamentals of the ancient master builders by studying ancient Roman structures. The breathtaking Roman architecture inspired her and at that point knew that structural engineering was the career path she wanted to pursue.

 

This past summer, Ting had the opportunity to worked as a structural intern at BuroHappold’s New York City office. She had the chance to learn more about structural engineering through hands-on experience by analyzing and designing a residential tower in New York City. Furthermore, this internship provided Ting with the opportunity to enhance her computer modeling skills for CSI Structural Analysis programs such as ETABS, SAP, and SAFE.

 

Besides her professional and academic experience, Ting is also involved in various organizations on campus. She is the Vice President for SEA Penn State Chapter (Structural Engineers Association), and a member of ASHRAE  and SSAE (Student Society of Architectural Engineering). These on campus involvements provided networking opportunities with different disciplines in the industry. During her free time, she enjoys playing tennis, hiking, and exploring new cities.
