Larry A. Ward Machining Technologies Center

Thanks to alumni Larry Ward's generous $1 million+ donation, the machining lab has undergone extensive renovations, including 50 new machines for the 14,299 square-foot lab. Check it out!

Students Construct Battery Pack

Manufacturing engineering technology students Brian Pernot and Bryce Kuszmaul spent a year constructing, from scratch, a battery pack intended for lithium batteries and an electric car.

Student Experience

“My favorite thing about Penn College is how flexible the learning environment is. Being able to apply theory and hands-on training to our own ideas and see them come to life is the best thing that I’ve taken away from my studies.”
