Welcome
Our Mechanical
and Nuclear Engineering Department wants to establish a close
connection between its alumni, current students, and faculty.
I am inviting you, as an accomplished graduate of Penn State’s
mechanical or nuclear engineering program to participate
in an alumni group. The alumni groups are formally known
as the Penn State Mechanical Engineering Society (PSMES)
and the Penn State Nuclear Engineering Society (PSNES) and
is composed of Penn State mechanical and nuclear engineering
alumni. PSNES and PSMES has representation on the Penn State
Engineering Society (PSES) Board of Directors and the Penn
State Alumni Association – an
all-alumni advisory body that works closely with College
deans, faculty, and students across all engineering programs
to promote and improve the engineering program at Penn State.
The purpose
of our alumni groups is to promote
fellowship and communication among the alumni, faculty and
students of the Nuclear Engineering Program in order to work
for the improvement of the program, the Mechanical and Nuclear
Engineering Department, and the College of Engineering.
All living
graduates of Penn State’s mechanical and nuclear engineering
programs can become a member and there are no
dues or fees.
To become a member please visit the appropriate alumni
group website (PSNES or PSMES)
and complete the membership form online (click on "become
a member") or print and complete a membership form (printable
form) and return it to the appropriate address.
If you
would like to simply update your current contact information,
please complete the online form (alumni
update form), or print and complete the update form (printable
form).
Interaction between alumni,
students, and faculty provides opportunities for networking
so important in professional development and in helping the
mechanical engineering program to continue to provide our
students with the knowledge and training they need. I hope
you accept my invitation to become a member of the PSMES
and continue to interact with your friends and colleagues
in the community of Penn State mechanical engineers.
Respectfully yours,
Karen A. Thole, PhD
Professor and Department Head
Department of Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering
