Penn Engineering Boilerplate
The following text is provided where instances of a summary or overview of the School are needed:
“The School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania is comprised of six academic departments and numerous interdisciplinary centers, institutes, and laboratories. Penn Engineering’s goal is to prepare students for leadership roles in a technological world where creativity, critical quantitative thinking, effective communication skills and a strong commitment to humane values are essential.
An Ivy League university located in the city of Philadelphia, Penn was the first of its kind, a university created for the purpose of building knowledge that would benefit the future of our country and mankind. Established in 1852 as the School of Mines, Arts and Manufactures, Penn Engineering is among the oldest engineering programs in the United States. Today, Penn Engineering is one of the University’s twelve schools, and offers degrees at the undergraduate, master’s and doctoral levels.
Penn Engineering students have access to all that the University of Pennsylvania and Philadelphia have to offer, including hands-on research and design experience in a contiguous, urban campus. The close proximity to Penn’s other schools, including Medicine, Law, Business, and Design enables and promotes interdisciplinary collaboration. From biotechnology and nanotechnology to artificial intelligence and robotics, Penn Engineering’s research is at the forefront of scientific and technological frontiers.”
