Ryan Krall

My name is Ryan Krall, I am a Senior at Drexel studying Civil Engineering and will graduate with a minor in Architectural Engineering. I took a year off after high school to play semi-professional hockey as a goalie then enrolled at the University of Colorado, where I am originally from. I transferred to Drexel after a search for a good engineering school. I completed one co-op in Greenville, SC, where my fiancé and I plan to live after we get married in July, working with a small structural consulting engineering firm.

I believe that this course should allow us all to leave with a better understanding of how our building designs, no matter what discipline, can be simplified and made more efficient by the technology available.

Intelligent buildings, to me, means that a building is designed in a way that eases the incorporation of a multitude of disciplines and can be tracked throughout the design and construction process. The intelligent building design process should make the entire process much more efficient.
