Authored by ENE’s Stephanie Masta, Alice Pawley, Matt Ohland and colleagues, the paper “Is Carla grumpy? Analysis of peer evaluations to explore microaggressions and other marginalizing behaviors in engineering student teams" brings home the prestigious ASEE William Elgin Wickenden Award.

The National Science Foundation Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award will support Assistant Professor Kirsten Davis' research into how engineering students develop the skills necessary to function in a globalized engineering work environment—specifically comparing travel and non-travel intercultural learning formats.

First-Year Engineering Advising Director Curt Oechsle talks about ways his team met academic advising challenges for a 2024-2025 cohort that far exceeded anticipated enrollment numbers.

FYE student Tolen Schreid is taking a gap year to move his tech company forward, thanks to a hefty influx of venture capital by tech accelerator investors. Schreid is one of the youngest entrepreneurs to receive a financial nod from Y Combinator for Caseflood.ai, an AI, open model platform centered around the legal profession.

With six months under her belt as an NSF Program Director, ENE Professor Alice Pawley answers questions related to the position, including what it takes to do the job, the right time to take on the role, the logistics involved in taking on the position, and how to find the right work-life balance in DC.

ENE's Şenay Purzer, Muhsin Menekse, and Virginia Booth-Womack to work with approximately 50 secondary school educators and 600 students in the U.S. to weave socially transformative approaches into science, technology, engineering, and mathematics curriculums.

ENE PhD student Adrian Nat Gentry will be at University College London this winter, researching how professional skills are currently being integrated into UCL's foundation engineering curriculum. His efforts are supported by a Purdue College of Engineering TRAvel for CollaborativE Research (TRACER) grant designated for grad students on a promising trajectory toward a career as a faculty member at a top university.

Tamara Moore and the INSPIRE Research Institute for Pre-College Engineering at Purdue ENE released the 11th consecutive Engineering Gift Guide, showcasing 40 gifts to help children and teens better understand and develop an interest in microelectronics. The top gift was a children’s picture book called SOIC & SOT: The Microchips.

Purdue ENE's Kerrie Douglas and Melissa Dyehouse are leading the education research component of an NSF-funded project to expand educational simulation tools developed at Purdue, Georgia Tech and Arizona State.

A joint Purdue University-U of I study co-led by Jason Morphew focuses on improving online learning environments by including instructional gestures and cueing known to help students conceptualize abstract concepts.

As a Fulbright Specialist, Purdue ENE's Kerrie Douglas spent time this summer at University College London where she worked to improve its engineering program's assessment strategies and consulted on ways to approach engineering education research.

The work of Purdue researchers Muhsin Menekse and Erica Carlson to bring quantum education to pre-college classrooms continues with a two-year, NSF-funded pilot project in select Indiana middle schools.

Select schools from Illinois and Michigan will join a growing number of Indiana school districts participating in a Purdue University-led program to embed microelectronics in K-12 classrooms as part of a DOD strategy to build a domestic semiconductor industry. Led by ENE's Tamara Moore, SCALE K-12 was awarded $2.5M from the Silicon Crossroads Microelectronics Commons Hub to expand its reach.

The rise of artificial intelligence, growing quantities and variety of data, and increased demand for access to research data has sparked a collaboration among ENE's Senay Purzer, information specialists, and ethics experts to shape data management competencies for its “next-generation researchers."

Millions of university students have had better classroom teamwork experiences and are better prepared to function effectively in workplace teams thanks to CATME, a Purdue ENE-run system that helps instructors worldwide implement best practices in managing student teams.
