It's once again the time of year when US News & World Report releases their annual rankings of undergraduate engineering programs.

We are shocked and saddened by the news that Professor Monika Ivantysynova passed away early on the 11th of August, following a 4-month battle with cancer. Initially, she kept her health condition private until the rapid decay required her constant stay in the hospital for the last few weeks of her life. Monika was extremely active in the international fluid power research community, and her passion for the subject inspired researchers and engineers all over the world.

Professor Saraswat led development of a free, web-based application that will allow those using unmanned aerial systems (UAS) to easily log their flight-related data.

Sows are healthier, more comfortable, and happier when they stay cool.

We'll use small amounts of enzymes to reduce particle size and some surface characteristics so that they become moveable as a fluid with the same amount of moisture," said Michael Ladisch, the project's principal investigator, Purdue distinguished professor of agricultural and biological engineering, and director of the Laboratory of Renewable Resources Engineering (LORRE).
