Curious about engineering paths that don’t fit neatly into one box? Join MDESS at the Multidisciplinary Engineering Open House to explore how Multidisciplinary Engineering (MDE) blends engineering with other fields—or multiple engineering disciplines—into unique, flexible concentrations. Chat casually with seniors, browse poster-style displays, ask questions, and discover where MDE can take you. Come by anytime, grab a snack, and see how intersectional engineering could shape your future.

This one-hour, live webinar provides prospective students with the opportunity to learn more about one of the Purdue School of Engineering Education's online programs: the Teaching & Learning in Engineering Graduate Certificate.

This interactive seminar explores how early diagnostics and flexible instructional tools can be used to assess and develop students' computational thinking skills across engineering curricula. Noemi Mendoza Diaz from Texas A&M presents scalable, language-agnostic teaching strategies that support learning in classrooms of any size while grounding essential AI and machine learning competencies. The talk also addresses the educational and psychological implications of the growing reliance on chatGPT.

Join us for a seminar with Sharon Miller, Associate Professor of Engineering Practice in the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering and Assistant Vice Provost for Purdue University in Indianapolis, as she explores how embedding team-based biomedical design projects across three consecutive years of an undergraduate curriculum impacts student self-efficacy. Dr. Miller will share insights into how continuous exposure to real-world design—and experiences beyond the classroom like clinical immersion—can strengthen students’ belief in their ability to succeed.
