At Penn State, we believe that engineering education should prepare students for the competitive, global workplaces of the future. In this tough economic climate, it is especially important for students to graduate with practical engineering experience that will enable them to contribute quickly and in a meaningful way to the goals of their future employers.

To this end, we encourage our students to get involved in engineering projects, starting in their first year and continuing throughout their undergraduate education. Within SEDTAPP and more broadly, within the College of Engineering, there are many opportunities for students to engage in exciting projects that impact our world, including those offered through our Engineering Design, Engineering Leadership Development, and Engineering Entrepreneurship programs.
