The Theme Park Engineering and Design (TPED) Group at Colorado School of Mines is an organization open to all students interested in and/or aspiring to work in the niche industry of amusement attraction design, engineering, and operation/management. The organization offers chances to grow as a young professional and network with others that share the same passion.
Anyone who has the slight interest in theme park engineering and design should join!
The term "interest" encompasses a huge range; TPED is open to people who may have ridden a few rides and want to learn more, people who love everything Disney, people who want to ride as many roller coasters as possible, people who have always wanted to pursue a career in the design of amusement rides and attractions, and everyone in-between.
