SWE High School Shadowing Event
The Society of Women Engineers at the University of Pennsylvania is planning on hosting a shadowing day for female high schoolers interested in engineering. This event is meant to give high school students a “day-in-the-life” experience of college as an engineering student.
We will match you with a High School student for one day during the week of December 1st (1st-5th). Please fill out this form by the end of the day on November 15th if you are interested in attending. This form will confirm your attendance to the event, and we would love for you to join us!
Please reach out to Avery Goodman (averymg@seas.upenn.edu), Jasmin Wu (wujasmin@seas.upenn.edu), Anna Cheng (annalc@seas.upenn.edu), Allie Whittle (awhittle@seas.upenn.edu), or Calista Kim (calistak@seas.upenn.edu) if you have any questions!
Thank you!

Jobs, Internships & Post-Grad Opportunities
Ready to use your technical expertise to develop, launch, and lead the next generation of products?
The UC Berkeley Product Development Program (PDP) is an intensive, 9-month M.S. in Chemical Engineering designed to fast-track you into high-earning strategic leadership roles immediately after your bachelor’s degree.
Why the PDP is Your Fastest Path to Leadership:
- Key Roles: Bypass the traditional Ph.D. track and accelerate directly into key roles like Product Manager, Consultant, and competitive Leadership Rotational Programs.
- Real-World Experience: Instead of a research thesis, you’ll complete a field project where you’ll act as a consultant to solve a real-world product challenge for industry clients like Applied Materials, Clorox, Genentech, and Givaudan.
- High Salary Potential: 66% earn at least $100K per year, with 41% earning over $125K in diverse sectors.
Want a Sneak Peek? We’ve attached a quick slide deck featuring alumni stories (from founders to executives), past industry field projects, and key application advice.
Next Step: Attend Our Upcoming Info Sessions!
Applications for PDP27 (AY2026-27) are now open! But first, join an upcoming Info Session to gain a competitive edge and get direct answers on the curriculum, job placement, and costs.

Expectations for Penn Engineering Students
Penn Engineering holds the standard that students who register for employer events plan to attend. No shows reflect poorly and may disincentivize employers from attending future events at our school, as well as impact your ability to meet with company representatives and be considered for opportunities. When you RSVP for an event, please take that commitment seriously. If you have any questions or concerns, please email Employer Relationship Manager Lauren Kemp (laurem@seas.upenn.edu). Continue to check Handshake for events and job/internship postings.
