To save time and money on the repair of concrete highways, bridges & other structures, states are considering a Purdue innovation as an alternative to decades-old methods used for estimating when newly poured concrete is ready to withstand heavy traffic.

Dr. Luna Lu, Associate Dean of Faculty and Reilly Professor of Civil Engineering, spent 14 years climbing the academic career ladder — earning awards, promotions, and research funding — only to discover a new joy in running her own company. She reflects on her experience in this article featured in the Society of Women Engineers (SWE) magazine.

Water resource engineer, Mingxi Lin, loves that her job challenges her. Her work is complex, technical, and important – water resource engineers play a critical role in managing one of the world's most crucial and delicate resources. And since the technologies and methods engineers use to do their jobs are constantly changing, there's always more to learn.
