Join us for From Industry to Innovation: Professional Doctoral Research at Purdue, a webinar led by Dr. Karen Marais and Dr. Inez Hua, faculty co-instructors of the Doctor of Engineering (D.Eng.) Research Fundamentals course. This session dives into the unique approach of Purdue’s D.Eng. program, where research is shaped by real-world challenges posed by industry partners, and driven forward by students themselves.

Discover how professional doctoral research goes beyond traditional academic inquiry—melding deep technical exploration with practical application across a range of organizational contexts, from nimble startups to global tech enterprises. Learn how faculty advisors serve not only as mentors but strategic guides in a collaborative research process, supporting student-led investigations tailored to industry-sponsored problems.

Designed for prospective students, this webinar offers an insider perspective on how the D.Eng. program transforms engineering research by aligning academic rigor with innovation in practice.
