Seeking Partnerships

Members of the Penn Engineering faculty across the disciplines are actively seeking corporate partners interested in building long lasting, mutually beneficial relationships focused on technological research and discovery. (Use this link to visit our Expertise Directory.) Penn Engineering is proud to have recruited some of the most talented and creative teachers and students from all over the world. This international gathering of intellectual capital and academic drive has created an environment of dynamism and vitality, and we welcome collaborators of like talent and ambition to leverage our achievements.

We view the corporate relationship as an active two way street, with both partners gaining insights and direction from one another’s expertise and findings. Corporate collaboration adds another layer of value to scientific investigation at the university level, wherein reality based applications determine the course of inquiry using real-time data and parameters. Partnering with industry and working toward shared goals enables Penn engineers to advance their own research while benefitting the corporation.

There are numerous ways Penn Engineering engages industry partners. These include: student recruitment; student program support, group and outreach projects; research talks and forums; and the development of sponsored research projects. We share a commitment to education, research, development and innovation. We look forward to working with you.
