Research

Business and industry can partner with Penn State on on-going research projects, attend research workshops, support graduate students, or join research centers. Research and continuing education activities are housed in the Office for Graduate Studies, Research and Outreach (OGSRO).

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.
