Three exceptional teaching partners from across Purdue have been recognized for their outstanding impact on Multidisciplinary Engineering (MDE) and Interdisciplinary Engineering Studies (IDES) students. Honored as “one of the best of the best in teaching,” these collaborators exemplify how cross-campus partnerships strengthen interdisciplinary education and student success.

The Purdue University Board of Trustees ratified Professor Tamara Moore's appointment as the new Purdue ENE Crowley Family Professor of Engineering Education, succeeding Audeen Fentiman in that role. Moore joined the faculty in 2013, and serves as executive co-director of Purdue’s INSPIRE Research Institute for Pre-College Engineering, director of SCALE K-12, and the curriculum director for SCALE.

Professor and Interim Head Joyce Main will lead Purdue ENE as the Kamyar Haghighi Head of the School of Engineering Education, building on its pioneering legacy and advancing the future of the field. Her vision centers on celebrating its people, strengthening research and innovative teaching, and launching new ABET-accredited Multidisciplinary Engineering and liberal arts pathways.
