Penn College team claims second in blow molding design contest

Williamsport, Pa. — Penn College students earned honors at the 41st Annual Blow Molding Conference in Chicago, presented by the Society of Plastics Engineers’ Blow Molding Division. A three-member team placed second in the Blow Molding Division’s student design contest, and two Penn College students received national scholarships. Senior polymer engineering technology students Trevor J. Culbertson, of Huntingdon; Luke M. Springman, of Jersey Shore; and Nathan B. Zook, of Lewisburg, finished second in the contest, which required development of an original blow-molded product and documentation of its design, manufacturing process, and feasibility. The trio designed a water-filled, blow-molded weight plate for athletic training options such as sled pushes, drags, and resisted sprints. The weight of the plate is adjusted by adding or removing water, allowing it to provide multiple resistance levels. When empty, the plate is lightweight, making it easy to handle and transport. “We are honored to receive second place in the student design competition,” Culbertson said. “This project allowed us to combine knowledge gained from multiple classes and apply it to create a new product. We appreciate the opportunity and had lots of fun making our water-filled weight design.” “The performance of the Penn College polymer team is

Penn College students in demand as nearly 430 employers attend career fair

Williamsport, Pa. — Penn College students and their real-world skills were in demand at the institution’s two-day Fall Career Fair on Oct. 6 and 7. Nearly 430 employers — about 50 more than last fall’s event — filled the college’s Bardo Gymnasium and Field House, offering full-time employment and internship opportunities for students from the schools of Business, Arts & Sciences, Engineering Technologies, and Nursing & Health Sciences. “Fall is an important time for employers to connect with students for both internships and full-time employment. Many employers are already looking ahead to next summer while also thinking about the graduates they want to bring into their organizations,” said Stacey L. Girven, career events manager. “They know our students have options, so they’re coming to campus prepared to make a strong impression and build relationships early.” Construction management, electrical, automated manufacturing and machining, electronics and computer engineering, engineering design, and welding students were in particularly high demand. However, employers showed interest in students from all disciplines throughout the Career Fair, underscoring the college’s 98% graduate placement rate. “The Career Fair demonstrates that Penn College students are moving beyond simply looking for a job.
