<p>who are some of the accomplished/prominent names in the SEAS department? </p>
<p>i know i’m probably gonna get “flamed” for not researching Penn enough before applying, but it’s really hard to find anything worthwhile on their website.</p>
<p>I did someone from the Bioengineering department, since that’s what I want to major in.
[Penn</a> Engineering / Department of Bioengineering / Primary Faculty](<a href=“Areas of Focus”>Bioengineering)</p>
<p>You should research your stuff though 
Just sayin’.</p>
<p>Narrow it down to a department within SEAS - that’s the least of the research you need to do. What kind of engineering do you want to study?</p>
<p>Also, don’t worry about finding an accomplished professor. As long as it’s not an adjunct/part-time lecturer, you’re fine. The Engineering website homepages and the Daily Pennsylvanian are good places to look for news references of professors.</p>
<p>If you’re doing the professor essay, you don’t need a notable person. Just get someone whose research intrigues you.</p>
