With four guide ropes attached to it, the east-side clock face is raised into position. While it didn't seem that windy on the ground on Saturday, Jan. 28, winds higher up were strong, requiring extra guidance to bring the clock face safely to the Old Main bell tower.

Ben White of New Vibrations Audio and Video works on a ledge of the Old Main bell tower, to remove the speakers from the old chime system. The company installed a new carillon system today (Jan. 27) that will play a digital recording made of the original Old Main bell that now sits adjacent to Old Main and other bells of comparable sizes.

The School of Engineering at Penn State Erie, The Behrend College, hosted its fourth annual engineering job fair on Thursday, March 19, in the college's Research and Economic Development Center (REDC). More than 200 Penn State Behrend engineering students and 44 local and national employers attended.

Participating employers ranged from local companies, such as GE, LORD Corporation and Port Erie Plastics, to the U.S. Marine Corps, U.S. Navy, Northrop Grumman, Sandia National Labs, and Dresser-Rand.

Those Penn State Behrend engineering students interested in full-time, part-time, summer co-op, and internship opportunities were encouraged to attend.

The School of Engineering at Penn State Behrend offers three associate degree programs -- electrical engineering technology (EET), mechanical engineering technology (MET) and plastics engineering technology (PLET) -- and seven bachelor’s degree programs -- computer engineering, electrical engineering, EET, mechanical engineering, MET, PLET, and software engineering. Each program is accredited by either the Engineering Accreditation Commission (EAC) or the Technology Accreditation Commission (TAC) of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).
