University of Pennsylvania: one of the famous Ivy League schools, founded by Benjamin, a famous American scientist, politician and one of the drafters of the Declaration of Independence, in 1740? Franklin created it. ? The University of Pennsylvania is different from the colonial college, which offers old-fashioned courses based on the British model. It marks the birth of a new model of higher education in North America and opens the modern American education system. She not only offered science courses first, but also was the first American university to offer courses in history, mathematics, agronomy, English and modern languages. ? In many other fields, Penn University has also made many pioneering contributions. For example, astronomer David, who was the vice-president of the university in18th century? Rittenhouse has established several famous mechanical observatories, one of which has been preserved to this day and has become one of the scenic spots on campus. This mechanical device called "Solar System Instrument" is actually a mechanical simulation computer. 1946, the Damore School of Electronic Engineering of the University of Pennsylvania designed the world's first all-electronic mathematical computer "ENIAC", which initiated a new era of computers. The gate of the University of Pennsylvania is engraved with "We will find a way, or we will create a way". This reflects the innovative spirit of the University of Pennsylvania. ? The school has 15 professors and alumni who won the Nobel Prize, and 4 professors who won the National Science Medal. At present, there are 4/kloc-0 academicians of the American Academy of Medical Sciences and nearly 40 academicians of the American National Academy of Sciences. ? The business, medical and law schools of the University of Pennsylvania are the dreams of many people. Most of the liberal arts are first-class, but the engineering is a little weak.

In science and engineering, the University of Pennsylvania is in a leading position among American universities in bioengineering, archaeology, genetic engineering, computer science and medical research. Among the social sciences and humanities, the University of Pennsylvania's anthropology, psychology, sociology, women's studies and urban studies are quite famous in academic circles. ?
