Purdue Engineering is rising to COVID-19 challenges
Dear Purdue Engineering Community,
As we approach the middle of summer, we’re all busier than ever. Getting our research labs back in operation was a big step, and our Early Start students will be here on campus in a few days. Early Start will help us pilot a residential experience designed for these times... Read the Dean's Message
