Engineering Leadership Development

The Engineering Leadership Development (ELD) program focuses on providing a challenging, relevant, and dynamic world-class program that further engages students in their education while preparing them for leadership roles in a technical work environment.

The ELD program has a variety of educational offerings to help students develop the leadership skills needed to excel in an engineering career. The program courses provide students with an understanding of individual, team, and organizational leadership; global competencies and multicultural awareness; and innovation and management. Students practice effective leadership skills through involvement in both Penn State-based and international partnership-based teams, aiming to design and build solutions for developing nations.
