    The exclusive electroproduction process epenπ+\vec{e}p \to e^\prime n \pi^+ was measured in the range of the photon virtuality Q2=1.74.5GeV2Q^2 = 1.7 - 4.5 \rm{GeV^2}, and the invariant mass range for the nπ+n\pi^+ system of W=1.151.7GeVW = 1.15 - 1.7 \rm{GeV} using the CEBAF Large Acceptance Spectrometer. For the first time, these kinematics are probed in exclusive π+\pi^+ production from protons with nearly full coverage in the azimuthal and polar angles of the nπ+n\pi^+ center-of-mass system. The nπ+n\pi^+ channel has particular sensitivity to the isospin 1/2 excited nucleon states, and together with the pπ0p\pi^0 final state will serve to determine the transition form factors of a large number of resonances. The largest discrepancy between these results and present modes was seen in the σLT\sigma_{LT'} structure function. In this experiment, 31,295 cross section and 4,184 asymmetry data points were measured. Because of the large volume of data, only a reduced set of structure functions and Legendre polynomial moments can be presented that are obtained in model-independent fits to the differential cross sections
