Student and Alumni Mentoring Program
The Department of Mechanical Engineering and our alumni society jointly support a robust mentoring and networking program for our students. Students can initiate a mentoring connection with an alumnus and alumni, in turn, provide guidance, and networking opportunities for students.
Mentorships and networking connections create value in your education in many ways. By getting to know a professional in your field, you can:
- Open network connections to any number of engineering companies
- Gain a professional reference for your job search
- Learn about career paths in your field based on your mentor's experiences
As a current student in our Mechanical Engineering program, you can connect with an alumnus from the Penn State Mechanical Engineering Society (PSMES) through two options:
- To get started right away, register at engr.psu.edu/mementoring/mentee/
- Wait to learn more about mentoring when you take the half-credit course ME 390 that focuses on academic planning and career preparation.
