This past summer, Antonio had a position as an intern for the City of Pittsburgh, working within the Department of Public Works. During this internship, he was provided an experience involving overall building inspections and insight into the coordination of public owned facilities. Antonio plans to take the FE exam before graduation so that he may receive EIT status upon graduating.

After graduation, he looks forward to receiving knowledge and experience in the structural engineering profession to assist in the preparation for a Professional Engineer license.
