A day at Hersheypark looked a little different for this group of Spartans. 🎢

York College Civil Engineering students went behind the scenes to learn how engineers keep rides safe, maintain complex systems, and apply concepts like structural analysis and hydraulics in a real-world setting.

“Going to these out-of-classroom experiences allows me to connect better to concepts and helps me remember more because I know how they can be applied,” said Kayla Reidenbaugh ’28.

York College students are putting their skills to work on a real manufacturing challenge.

Through a Manufacturing PA Innovation Program project at the J.D. Brown Center for Entrepreneurship and Knowledge Park, YCP students and faculty are working with MRG Labs, PennAir, and Hanover Conveying Systems to develop an automated system that uses AI to screen grease samples and flag potential equipment issues.

The collaboration gives students hands-on experience while helping local industry explore smarter, more efficient ways to keep equipment running.
