The ECSEL Coalition
...at The Pennsylvania State University
ECSEL (Engineering Coalition of Schools for Excellence in Education and Leadership) is a coalition of seven schools and colleges of engineering engaged in a five-year effort to renew undergraduate engineering education and its infrastructure, making engineering as a profession attractive to a broader spectrum of youth.
ECSEL is funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) as part of the Engineering Education Coalitions Program.
What does ECSEL do?
The ECSEL Program at Penn State University Park has undertaken many projects in the past few years, including the design and construction of a sailplane, a class in engine design, and the creation of an experimental computer classroom. For more information on ECSEL's projects, click here.
