Hello, my name is Jackie Lord and I'm a fifth year senior studying Civil and Architectural Engineering with a concentration in Structures. I'm from Delaware County, which is a county right outside Philly and decided to stay close for college.
I originally came into Drexel as Engineering Undecided and applied to a wide variety of coops. I took the job at AECOM in the aviation civil department and felt like a dual major in the CAEE department was the right fit. Working at AECOM, I was exposed to AutoCAD Civil 3D and some minor Revit uses. My second coop was at CHOP and was more project management based. For my third coop, I returned to AECOM where I have accepted an offer to start full time in July.
The first definition I found for intelligent buildings states that they are designed to be green (energy efficient and friendly to the environment). I also believe, in addition to this definition, intelligent buildings could also include the use of new technology incorporated in the building. For example, when I worked at CHOP, the new Buerger building was up and in the testing phase. The Buerger Center utilized smart walls and interactive pieces throughout the building. It will be interesting to see what we will cover in this course.
