Penn State SEDI

Just finished our two-day annual orientation on #PennState's University Park campus for our Doctor of Engineering in Engineering program, offered by Penn State College of Engineering through Penn State World Campus. Our rigorous program is designed for the working professional and is highly flexible and interdisciplinary. We had about 50 students here in person this year as well as a dozen online. The weather was absolutely gorgeous for our Thursday evening social at the University Wine Company. The excitement of these students is infectious! #Engineering #Doctorate #DEng #upskilling #highereducation #doctoraldegree #career #WeAre

Starting on July 8, this course aims to empower engineers to: - Navigate IP and patent laws  - Formulate effective patent strategies  - Understand commercialization processes  - Tackle rules, regulations, and compliance in innovation Upon completion of this 15-hour course, you’ll earn a digital badge to showcase on LinkedIn and social media, ready to face the challenges of today’s tech-driven environment.  Register here:  https://lnkd.in/eg9im4Js #PennStateEngineering #PennStateSEDI #PennStateLPE #Law #IntellectualProperty #Patents #Commercialization #EngineeringEntrepreneurship #EngineeringInnovation #EngineeringCareers #EngineeringJobs #Microcredentials

The Penn State Learning Factory hosts regular build night events for students, including an “Artist in Residence” series where they worked side-by-side with artists in the Penn State College of Arts and Architecture, giving students new skills and new perspectives to add to their engineering toolbox.     "Opportunities like these nurture whatever creativity is within us that can’t always be expressed in traditional engineering curricula." — Matt Parkinson     The program was also funded by the Penn State Leonhard Center for the Enhancement of Engineering Education.      #PennState #STEAM #STEM #ArtinEngineering #PennStateEngineering #PennStateArtsAndArchitecture #PennStateSEDI #LearningFactory #EngineeringDesign #Creativity #EngineeringEducation Debrina Roy Gabriel Gekoskie  Sarah Zappe

"The actual human interaction of going to Sheetz, observing, asking people questions, I thought that was probably the most impactful part of the whole program. When we make products, I'm going to have to get other people's perspective, understand the actual problem and their difficulties with it." - Deon Harper, mechanical engineering undergraduate. In the Sheetz Engineering Innovation Challenge, #PennStateEngineering students observed in-store activity throughout the spring and brainstormed new ideas to enhance customer happiness. Then, they pitched those ideas to Sheetz representatives in a final competition and rapidly prototyped solutions for judging, with the winners receiving $5,000. This competition, made possible by support from the A. James & Alice B. Clark Foundation, was a pilot for the new #PennState engineering #microcredential series. These microcredentials, available to anyone -- Penn Staters and beyond -- offer new in-demand skills to help practicing engineers add value to their organizations and give engineering students new learning opportunities they might not have otherwise. https://lnkd.in/d3mTyhbu #PennStateSEDI #EngineeringDesign #EngineeringInnovation #UserCenteredDesign #EngineeringHappiness Brad Groznik Nathaniel Ansu Sydney Crews Ulises Henríquez
