LINTHICUM, MD — Mueller Associates announces the promotions of two Electrical Engineers with expertise in educational and cultural projects throughout the Mid-Atlantic. Erik Godack has been promoted to Senior Electrical Engineer and Sammy Alqasem, PE, to Project Electrical Engineer.

Godack joined Mueller in 2014.

In addition, Godack contributed to the recent renovation of the Art Deco-era Enoch Pratt Free Library in Baltimore, Maryland.

Currently, Godack is designing electrical systems for a new academic commons building at Virginia State University in Petersburg, Virginia; and the College of Health Professions building at Towson University in Maryland. He earned a master’s degree and a bachelor’s degree, both in electrical engineering, from Morgan State University. Godack is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE).

Alqasem also joined Mueller in 2014. His major projects have included the University of Baltimore’s Robert L. Bogomolny Library and the new Rubenstein Arts Center at Duke University.
