PSU Design Showcase

Students from Greater Johnstown who are considering a career in Engineering had the opportunity to visit Penn State’s Engineering Department Design Showcase at the Bryce Jordan Center in State College. The showcase featured industry-sponsored projects from Penn State seniors graduating in fields like bioengineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, industrial engineering and mechanical engineering. The showcase was organized by the Learning Factory, a University-industry partnership at Penn State that helps educate the next generation of engineers. Johnstown students were given the opportunity to see 92 projects designed and created by Penn State’s Engineering students. This platform allowed High School Students to interact with, and ask questions of the college students and professors about their projects and the process they used to solve the real-world problems presented to them by companies such as Lockheed Martin, General Motors, Consol Energy, Boeing, and BP.
