Office of Technology Management

Formed by a merger of the Industrial Research Office and the Intellectual Property Office, the Office of Technology Management (OTM) focus is to foster an ecosystem for technology innovation and translation. OTM is responsible not just for the successful marketing of Penn State intellectual property and vigorous licensing to corporations and to start-up companies, but also for assisting faculty interested in doing more market-relevant research.

Classroom Involvement

Employers can work closely with Penn State Students at all levels, providing challenging problems for hands-on solutions or through classroom presentations. They can also help pave the pathways to engineering through participation in summer camp activities for underrepresented students. Go to Industry-Sponsored Projects for more information.

Continuing Education

Every year, the College supports the delivery of hundreds of programs to thousands of learners throughout Pennsylvania and the United States. Programs are delivered at University Park, at Penn State campuses throughout the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, to work sites, and, in the case of distance education courses, to people’s homes and offices. Go to Continuing and Distance Education for more information.

Recruiting & Diversity

The Penn State College of Engineering produces some of the best engineering graduates in the world. Several units specialize in helping prospective employers develop recruiting relationships with our undergraduate and graduate students, for both full-time positions and co-op/internship opportunities. Employers can work with engineering departments, programs, and student organizations throughout the College to identify and network with a diverse group of students early and often. Go to our Recruiting and Diversity page for more information about how to identify high-quality students for short- and long-term employment.
