On Oct. 27, 2022, representatives from Purdue University and Cranfield University met to sign an MOU amendment that expands their existing partnership to advance education and research in the defense space.
In 2019, Purdue and Cranfield launched the Dual Masters Degree program in Defense Engineering and Technology (MSDET), which provides a unique opportunity for military personnel and civilians in the scientific, engineering and technology communities affiliated with the Department of Defense to study for graduate degrees in defense engineering.
The MSDET program draws on Purdue’s internationally recognized strengths in defense across campus, as well as from Cranfield’s leadership in defense and security science, engineering and technology to deliver a comprehensive program of defense-related coursework. Course cover topics such as Big Data Analytics, Science & Engineering of Energetic Materials, Military Vehicle Propulsion and Expeditionary Warfare Systems.
