Polymer Engineering and Science

Pennsylvania State University-Penn State Abington · Abington, PA

A checklist is the list of requirements to complete this program and receive the award, as the college publishes it in its catalog. It is the same for everyone. It does not say what you have completed; that comes from applying your own record.
