ME Micro-credentialing workshops
 

What is a micro-credential?

An intiative launched in 2018, the mechanical engineering program at Penn State began offering an additional way for students to broaden their skillset and stand out to employers through micro-credentialing workshops.

Micro-credentialing, which are targeted, intensive seminars designed to educate students on a specific topic, provide an additional avenue for mechanical engineering students to distinguish themselves.

After completing a rigorous workshop designed to give students a breadth of knowledge on the given topic, they will be evaluated for their understanding. This evaluation includes things like a multiple-choice assessment and an activity students complete and submit after the workshop has ended.

How can I sign up?

The workshops are held regularly for students enrolled in ME 390 and 490.

For questions, e-mail Angela Lesko at axf124@psu.edu.
