Eighteen months. One of them is abroad.Most engineers spend their first few years learning one plant, one product line, one way of doing things. You'll spend yours learning three.The PennEngineering Rotational Development Program (PRDP) is an 18-month, three-assignment program built for new graduates who want their careers to start in motion. Two of your rotations are at PennEngineering sites in the United States — different locations, different teams, different problems. One takes you overseas, to our operations in Ireland, Germany, or Asia.Why this program is differentYou'll live it, not visit it. The international rotation isn't a site tour or a two-week trip. You'll be embedded with a team long enough to own work there, not just observe it — and to see how a different site approaches the same engineering challenges.You'll build a global network before your third year. Rotations put you in front of teams and leaders across our sites. Engineers who finish the Rotational Program don't have contacts — they have colleagues on more than one continent.You'll find your fit by trying things. Mechanical engineers typically rotate through assignments such as plant operations, manufacturing engineering, project engineering, applications engineering and new product development.
