Join us for ENE's second annual Interdisciplinary Engineering Colloquium, which explores how parking intersects with such grand challenges as energy, the environment, and globalization.

His research project, "Becoming Boundary Spanners: Investigating, Enhancing, and Assessing the Experiences of Early Career Engineers," provides an integrative vision for engineering education and practice based on boundary spanning as a core meta-attribute for 21st-century engineers.

A visiting scholar with ENE for Fall 2012 and Spring 2013, Dr. Loui is a professor of electrical and computer engineering and a University Distinguished Teacher-Scholar at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Pawley was among 96 researchers honored at the White House on July 31.

Ian Boze and Andrew Doerr, two Multidisciplinary Engineering students, brought the paranormal to life in Purdue Theatre's production of Blithe Spirit.

Purzer shares this recognition with colleague Prof. Jonathan Hilpert for their session "Cognitive Processes Critical for Ill-Defined Problem Solving: Linking Theory, Research, and Classroom Implications," presented at the 2011 FIE conference.

The division is committed to research on learning, research on methods of instruction, the dissemination of knowledge on teaching and learning, and the development of procedures and materials for instruction.

The Leadership Minor will be an elective program coupling leadership theory with practice, leading to a certificate that is recorded on a student's transcript. Guided by a faculty mentor, students will create a personal leadership development plan, take courses on leadership concepts, peer mentor younger students, and create a portfolio of their leadership experiences.

ENE's Prof. Karl Smith participated in the consensus study, Discipline-Based Education Research: Understanding and Improving Learning in Undergraduate Science and Engineering"—one of two experts invited to represent engineering in an initiative that also encompasses physics, biology, the geosciences, chemistry, and astronomy.

Recognized for innovation in engineering education, Oakes will receive the Chester F. Carlson Award at the American Society for Engineering Education's annual awards banquet in June.
