Once again, we were delighted to be part of the Industrial and Manufacturing Engineering (IME) Department Graduate Open House.  There we had the opportunity to meet prospective graduate students and talk about all the great things the IME department, Penn State, and Happy Valley has to offer. Moreover, we won first place in the poster competition!!  in which the same prospective students judged existing IME graduate students’ research on their quality of presentation and intellectual contribution to the research community.  I hope to see all of them next fall semester, pursuing high-quality research here at Penn State.
