“Water has always fascinated me,” Maithilee reflects.

One year after his graduation, Purdue alumnus Ben Stryker (BSEEE 2018, MSEEE 2019) and his co-worker took a risk by starting a civil engineering firm. Their company, Rainier Stormwater Engineering (RSE), was created with a focus on drainage and low impact development – both critical for its home community of Seattle, WA.

One widespread way of communicating environmental impact information is with labeling schemes known as “eco-labels.” Eco-labels involve seals, logos, pictures, or words present on products with the intention of communicating environmental benefits (ISO, 2019)... We sought to identify if any eco-labels actually consider or account for rebound when calculating environmental impact reductions.

Nearly 32 years ago, Eric Larson (Biology, BS ’90, Environmental Engineering, MS ’92) completed his master’s degree oral examination and waited outside an office containing what he called “three legendary Purdue professors.”

Dr. Rebecca Ciez knew from a young age that she wanted to pursue engineering. Her family background in STEM gave her an almost instinctive engineering perspective on the world. Early in her career, she was drawn to one of the world’s pressing engineering issues: sustainability.
