GRASP-PRECISE Industry Day 2018

In 2012, there were many industry speakers who lamented that they were unable to attend our very successful PRECISE Open House.  As such, they requested to be invited back the following year, which led to the formation of PRECISE's first Industry Day in 2013.  The event was widely received because it gave industry the opportunity to see, first-hand, the latest, ground-breaking research being undertaken by the PRECISE Center.  Given it's success year-after-year, PRECISE's Annual Industry Day has grown to become one of Penn Engineering's signature events.

This year, our "Industry Day", which was co-hosted with the GRASP Laboratory, highlighted leading executives and engineers involved in cutting-edge research of robotics, cyber-physical systems and the Internet of Things.  Besides featuring many prominent speakers from industry and academia, there were numerous events for industry representatives to network with both PRECISE and GRASP students, alumni, and faculty.  One exciting new addition to the program this year was the opportunity for companies to interview our top students on-site during the event.
