Purdue's top showing among new ASEE Hall of Fame members underscores pioneering leadership in engineering education
A longtime member of the Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering faculty has been named to the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) Hall of Fame. Leah Jamieson, the Ransberg Distinguished Professor and John A. Edwardson Dean Emerita of Engineering, has been an educator at Purdue for over 47 years.
Jamieson co-founded EPICS (Engineering Projects in Community Service), where students earn academic credit for team-based projects with not-for-profits and educational organizations. Her leadership expanded EPICS nationally and internationally, earning numerous awards, including the ASEE Carlson Award and the National Academy of Engineering Gordon Prize.
The ASEE is a 12,000-plus member nonprofit organization committed to furthering education in engineering and engineering technology. The Hall of Fame honors leaders whose work has significantly impacted engineering education. Nominations were based on significant impacts in pedagogy, broadening participation, research, service or leadership, commercialization of technology, entrepreneurship, and practice.
