MSE: New Student Guide

New master’s student orientation events – Fall

The Bioengineering Department will hold a brief Departmental Orientation session for new master’s students on August 26th (time and location tbd) for a general introduction and overview of the BE department and master’s program. We encourage you to attend this orientation along with the events conducted by Penn Engineering for new MSE students.
