The University of Massachusetts Lowell (UMass Lowell) extends an invitation to its Alumni and Friends Reception to UMass Lowell alumni and industry professionals attending NPE2024.
The UMass Lowell Plastics Engineering department offers the largest Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredited plastics engineering program in the U.S. More than 3,000 UMass Lowell graduates are working in the plastics industry worldwide.
UMass Lowell attributes its students’ success to its programs, which combine hands-on laboratory experiences relevant to the industry with the fundamental theory in mathematics, science and engineering. The school also makes an effort to expose its students to all of the major plastics manufacturing, design and testing technologies.
Constant feedback from industry professionals and alumni enables UMass Lowell to stay on the cutting edge of plastics manufacturing and design technologies. It says that industry leaders and other friends of the university have supported the program through the donation of equipment, machinery, materials and software. They have also funded a number of scholarship opportunities available to plastics engineering students.
