Welcome to the Penn State College of Engineering Learning Factory Showcase and thanks for joining us! For 25 years the Showcase has celebrated the collaboration of students and sponsors on design projects from across the disciplines. For the first time ever we have moved online, enabling visitors from around the world to join with us. Use the links below to browse through the projects and check out their posters and videos. You can even vote for which projects receive our Best Project and Best Video awards!

This showcase represents true innovation, ingenuity, and grit, demonstrating that our students have what it takes to be great engineers. We hope you find inspiration in what the students have accomplished, and we thank our corporate sponsors for helping them get to this point.
