Connect with Future Fluid Power Engineers at Cal Poly's Recruitment Event!

Cal Poly Networking and Recruitment Event
November 19, 2025 |  San Luis Obispo, CA
5:30 - 8:00PM PDT

With three new universities joining the NFPA Power Partner Program, our network of schools dedicated to advancing fluid power education continues to grow. To celebrate this expansion, NFPA member companies are invited to join us for a special networking and recruitment event hosted in collaboration with Cal Poly’s Agricultural Engineering Society (AES) on campus in San Luis Obispo, CA.

The Power Partner Program highlights universities that demonstrate strong engagement with NFPA’s fluid power education initiatives, such as the Fluid Power Vehicle Challenge, Fluid Power Club, and the Speakers Bureau, and that offer dedicated fluid power coursework as part of their engineering curriculum.

With the addition of three new institutions, the program now includes 11 participating universities.

This event provides NFPA member companies with an excellent opportunity to meet and engage with Cal Poly engineering students who are passionate about fluid power and related technologies.
