Purdue engineering students will get the chance to explore the liberal arts through experiential learning opportunities and invited speakers thanks to a new National Endowment for the Humanities-funded program aimed at better integrating the humanities and engineering. Purdue ENE Assistant Professor Kirsten Davis and colleagues from SLA and GEARE are developing the program, which will include three new courses: Humanities-Informed Engineering Projects; Engineering in a Global Context; and Technology, Science, and Humanities.

It is with great pleasure to present our 2022 recipients of the Engineering Education Outstanding Alumni Award, John Babb, Tamara Moore, and Roger Shively, graduates of the former Division of Interdisciplinary Engineering (now part of the School of Engineering Education).

What’s it like to be in the middle of developing a new framework for learning? This conversation between Dr. Ruth Streveler and Dr. Emily Dringenberg took place during the development of a socially-embedded framework for learning.

"I'm an EMT and First Responder. Can I help?" Those words came from First-Year Engineering student Lee Haglid from Ridgewood, New Jersey, who knew exactly what to do when classmate Aytaj Aslanli was injured by a fallen tree branch last week. Lee jumped into action and helped Aytaj until Purdue paramedics arrived on the scene.

Dr. Joyce Main, Associate Professor of Engineering Education at Purdue University, and colleague Allison Griffith from Wake Forest University were awarded top honors this week for their American Society for Engineering Education paper, "The Impact of Math and Science Remedial Education on Engineering Major Choice, Degree Attainment, and Time to Degree."

In preparation for this award, Dr. Bill Oakes, 150th Anniversary Professor, Director of the EPICS Program, and Professor of Engineering Education, shared with us his rationale statement written for Phil's nomination. While there are numerous supporting letters detailing his mentorship and innovative work, we asked Dr. Oakes if we could share his rationale with our readers, as it explains what a lifetime of achievements looks like for a much deserving individual.

The awards committee of ASEE ChED and Chemical Engineering Education awarded Drs. Allison Godwin, Donna Riley, and Stephanie Farrell of Rowan University the William H. Corcoran Award for best paper in the journal in 2021, titled “A Sociocultural Learning Framework for Inclusive Pedagogy in Engineering.”

The College of Engineering has reappointed Dr. Donna Riley as the Kamyar Haghighi Head of the School of Engineering Education at Purdue University.

Should we think of ‘smartness’ as a verb instead of an adjective? Host Dr. Ruth Streveler interviews Dr. Emily Dringenberg, assistant professor of Engineering Education at The Ohio State University about her research about deeply held beliefs.

New graduate Logan Noster was among the first infants to receive the SIS grafts that Cook Biotech President Umesh Patel helped develop at Purdue

If you’re reading this, you are probably a race fan. Or a Purdue fan. Or quite possibly both, as is the case for alumnus Alex Offenbach.

“Improving Problem-Solving Skills of Engineering Undergraduate Students by Infusing Engineering Design in Introductory Physics Labs,” from Purdue University will be featured May 10-17, 2022.

Dr. Jason Morphew will begin in the fall semester as Assistant Professor of Engineering Education.

The College of Engineering celebrated 2022 Graduate Student Awards today with several of our students and faculty as honorees!
