Prof. Kaufmann Is The First African Woman To Be On The Penn Engineering Wall Of Fame

The College of Pennsylvania has perceived Prof. Elsie Effah Kaufmann, Dignitary of the School of Engineering Sciences, UG, as one of ten recognized graduated class featured on the Fame.

During the new Penn Specialists 2024 celebration, she was also granted a dedicatory plaque. Prof. Kaufmann is now the first African-American woman to be inscribed on the Penn Engineering Wall of Fame, which honors notable alumni, faculty, and other members of the School of Engineering and Applied Science at the University of Pennsylvania for their outstanding accomplishments and contributions.

The Wall of Fame honors individuals who have made significant contributions to their fields, highlighting their inventiveness, selflessness, and capacity for leadership.

From the University of Pennsylvania, Prof. Kaufmann received her BSE in engineering in 1992, her MSE in engineering in 1993, and her PhD in 1998.

“This one is exceptional on the grounds that it is from my institute of matriculation,” she said enthusiastically. “The University of Pennsylvania is a big place with many distinguished alumni worldwide, so when I received the message, I was honestly blown away,” she said, expressing her pride at being the only African-American female featured on the Penn Engineering Wall of Fame 2024.

“Because the University of Pennsylvania provided me with the education that shaped me into what I am today, how I feel about the plaque is indescribable.” It still surprises me when I think about it, and I hope this inspires young women to attend engineering school.”

Prof. Kaufmann spoke about the essential role the University of Pennsylvania played in her Engineering process and career advancement. She said,

“My decision of Designing and my choice to concentrate on designing at the most elevated level occurred at the College of Pennsylvania.”

She also revealed that the School of Engineering Sciences, UG, has laid out a commonly gainful relationship with the University of Pennsylvania.
