Visit Penn Engineering

There’s nothing quite like being on Penn’s campus and experiencing it for yourself. There’s a lot to see here, so we offer set times and schedules for taking a tour.

We also recommend that you take the time to look around Philadelphia. It’s a beautiful city, full of history and culture, parks, sporting events, festivals, and amazing restaurants – with something for every taste.
