Outstanding Electrical and Computer Engineers Honored

Class of 2023

Outstanding Electrical and Computer Engineers Honored

The Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering honored six alumni during the 31st annual Outstanding Electrical and Computer Engineer (OECE) awards ceremony. The OECE award was established by Purdue ECE in 1992 to honor the professional contributions of top graduates, and to thank them for the recognition their achievements bring to both Purdue and to the School.


The OECE ceremony is a highlight event each year.

We look forward to honoring another class of OECEs in 2024. Honorees included:
