Perry Haskowitz is currently in his 5th year of the Architectural Engineering program at The Pennsylvania State University, focusing on the structural option. Upon graduation in December 2018 he will receive both a Bachelors and Masters of Architectural Engineering.

​

During the summer of 2016, Perry interned at Wolkow Braker Roofing, a commercial roofing company. This internship focused on project management with tasks including, but not limited to, material breakdowns and small cost estimates. The summer spent at Wolkow Braker was valuable for two reasons. First, this was his first job in the construction industry so visiting jobsites and getting experience was very important. Second, although he gained valuable experience during this internship it did confirm his interest in pursuing a career in structural engineering.

​

Last summer Perry was fortunate enough to be offered an internship at Leslie E. Robertson Associates, a structural engineering firm in NY that works a lot with high-rise construction. The experience gained at LERA was fantastic, it was exciting for him to finally get a taste of the field that he wants to work in after graduation. Some assignments that Perry was tasked with at LERA include steel and concrete design of floor framing, columns, and slabs. He also designed and detailed special structures like feature stairs. One of the most significant lessons Perry learned at LERA is the importance of having organized work and notes that are easily read by other engineers.
