John Hart, FTCA began his academic career studying Architecture/Pre-engineering at Ball State University, in Muncie, Indiana. He quickly realized he was not in the correct program, or at the right school, so he transferred to Purdue University, a Land Grant university, in West Lafayette, Indiana. At Purdue he undertook the study of civil engineering, graduating from Purdue with a B.S. in Civil Engineering. However, when he transferred to Purdue, he lost his scholarship. Accordingly, he wants to see this scholarship assist structural engineering transfer students or students who change their discipline to a structural engineering major.
John has been with Peak Engineering, a Denver metro area consulting firm with 30 years of national structural engineering experience, since 1997. He is a principal in charge and is responsible for performing preliminary analysis and design comparing various structural systems. He coordinates the overall efforts of the structural design team and is responsible for quality control. He has extensive experience in the analysis and design of a wide variety of building structure types including warehouses, schools, office buildings, and other commercial buildings, working with various materials including steel, cast-in-place, tilt-up, and precast concrete, concrete masonry, and wood.
Applications will be available at tiltlab.org this summer and the first scholarship will be awarded in the fall of 2022. Make a donation to this fund by clicking the button below:
