Purdue is a longtime leader in transformative educational techniques — the university created the first School of Engineering Education in the nation. In the summer of 2020, the university launched a pilot project for more than 3,000 first-year science and engineering students to develop new techniques and technologies that would allow it to, if not rethink higher education, then redirect it.

In an effort to nurture a regional innovation ecosystem and advance research from the lab to market, the National Science Foundation has established a Great Lakes Innovation Corps Hub. Purdue University plays a leadership role in the new $15 million hub. Yung-Hsiang Lu, professor in the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering and director of the John Martinson Entrepreneurial Center, is the faculty lead and will work to connect faculty members to the I-Corps community.

In the first-of-its-kind race Oct. 21-23, Purdue is fielding one of those teams — Black & Gold Autonomous Racing — in collaboration with faculty and students from the U.S. Military Academy (USMA) at West Point. The competition kicked off in February 2020 with 30 teams from academic institutions around the world. Our B&G team has qualified for the final round after receiving excellent ratings for design documents and exceeding performance requirements, ranking in the top five teams in the last practice simulation race and first in the latest practice round.

“When the industry rushed to adopt dark mode, it didn’t have the tools yet to accurately measure power draw by the pixels,” said Charlie Hu, Purdue’s Michael and Katherine Birck Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. “But now we’re able to give developers the tools they need to give users more energy-efficient apps.”
