BIO:
Doris Ho is a 5th year Architectural Engineering student with a focus in lighting/electrical systems at Penn State University. She will graduate in May 2016 with EIT status, both a Bachelor's and Master's of Architectural Engineering, and a minor in Architectural Studies. In the summer of 2016, Doris will begin her career as an electrical engineer at SmithGroupJJR in the Washington, DC office alongside her teammate Yoonsun (Rosemary) Hwang.
Over the span of her five years at Penn State, Doris has been an active member and leader in different activities, such as Student Society of Architectural Engineers(SSAE) and Engineering Orientation Network(EON) to name a few. She kept summers busy with different internships, like a product engineering internship, when building industry ones were unavailable to her. After her second year, Doris had an opportunity to intern with GE Lighting Solutions, which opened her eyes to different career paths available with an architectural engineering degree. She continued and after her fourth year was able to intern with Tillotson Design Associates as a lighting design intern. Alas, lighting design was not fit for Doris and she decided to again try a different career path. The ASCE’s AEI student design competition allowed her the opportunity to expand her horizons in the electrical engineering design world and lead her to pursuing an electrical engineering position for her first full-time job. Not only is Doris curious in her pursuit of different career experiences, she is also curious when it comes to learning hip hop dance and could be seen mesmerized by videos on YouTube.
