This year's theme, “Generation Mars,” highlighted that these children are the generation most likely to become the first humans to step on Mars. Several Purdue student clubs helped plan and execute some of the activities, which were centered around travel to Mars.

Aircraft avionics have hundreds of systems that are potential targets for malicious adversaries. A new course combining AAE and CERIAS, with input from Boeing, will provide dual expertise in aerospace engineering and cybersecurity.

For more than 25 years, this annual event has offered children between third and eighth grade the opportunity to meet a NASA astronaut. They also get many hands-on experiences with aerospace-themed STEM projects.

Autonomous vehicles can't filter out information they don’t need, which slows their response time. Assoc. Prof. Andres Arrieta has developed a sensor that would help reduce that processing load by simplifying the data a drone uses to assess flight conditions.

AAE Professors James Garrison and Michael Sangid were both named University Faculty Scholars (UFS) this year. The UFS program, offered through the Office of the Provost, recognizes outstanding faculty at the West Lafayette campus who are on an accelerated path for academic distinction.

Grazia Vittadini spoke at Fowler Hall on Wednesday, Oct. 19 about the challenges in achieving net-zero carbon emissions in aviation

AnalySwift receives NASA contract to fund research at Purdue University and University of Texas at Arlington. Purdue AAE Professor Wenbin Yu will be the primary investigator

George Haller, professor of mechanical engineering at ETH Zurich, presented to a full room of engineering students and faculty at Purdue's School of Aeronautics and Astronautics. He presented a solution to computer modeling of dynamical phenomena such as nonlinear vibrations of solids and transitions in fluids. These systems remain a challenge for classic machine learning because they are non-linearizable.

Just three months into her doctoral research at Purdue, Morales Jiménez was awarded a NSTGRO fellowship. We talked with her about what motivates her search for alternative hypergolic propellants, about the Hispanic NASA research center director who inspired her to stick with aerospace, and what it means to her to be a Hispanic woman working in this field.

This career fair has been connecting AAE students with the aerospace industry for more than 10 years. Though larger corporations can and do participate, ACE has developed a reputation for bringing smaller companies than some other hiring events.
