Penn State Engineering welcomes its new class of freshmen students this week. The Women in Engineering and Multicultural Engineering Programs kicked off the new semester yesterday with day-long orientation events for their new members.

New students in WEPO participated in ice breaking activities like building balloon towers, attending a picnic at Spring Creek Park and playing broomball in the Pegula Ice Arena.

WEP members enjoy the food and sunny skies at Spring Creek Park, despite heavy storms in the afternoon.

WEPO broomball quickly devolves into a line dance at Pegula Ice Arena.

Freshman at WEPO construct balloon towers at the Nittany Lion Inn.

MEPO took a slightly more serious approach to orientation with design project competitions in the Hammond Building. However, the MEPO members will get their chance at broomball tonight at Pegula.

MEPO students plan their project for the design competition.

MEPO leaders explain the challenge project. Students have to create a working design with only the materials provided to them in the classroom.

Orientation activities will continue through Friday afternoon.

Welcome to Penn State Engineering, Class of 2018!
