Life@ME

The Penn State Department of Mechanical Engineering is committed to solving problems related health, happiness, and safety, and along the way, often changing the way people think about the world. Critical to reaching these goals are diversity and inclusion, with different perspectives bringing new, innovative solutions.

Our Mentoring Programs

To support our culture, we recruit diverse faculty, staff, and students while continuing to support them through our mentoring programs.

We encourage faculty to learn more about mentoring programs.

Undergraduate students can easily connect with a mentor or schedule an appointment with a career advising and academic wellness counselor.

Celebrating Our Female Faculty

The department has created a Women in 3D Printing at Penn State group, which aims to promote, support, and inspire female professors and students in the field.

Diversity. Equity. Inclusion.

These are the words we live by in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. We care about our people, our programs, and our impact where multiple approaches and points of view drive our innovation.
