As soon as the moons of Mars were discovered by the American astronomer Asaph Hall in 1877, scientific curiosity went into overdrive to answer the age-old question that drives children and scientists alike: Why? EAPS/College of Science’s David Minton developed a new hypothesis for the origin and evolution of the moons of Mars.

Steven Collicott was selected to receive an award by NASA's Flight Opportunities program giving him the chance to fly into suborbital space and back on a Virgin Galactic craft while conducting a zero-gravity experiment.

Sanjay Rao, professor of electrical and computer engineering, was named a Distinguished Member of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM).

An event sponsored by Purdue Engineering is receiving international attention.

Kathleen Howell and Carolin Frueh are working with Rhea Space Activity on a U.S. Air Force contract to develop software that can monitor and predict trajectories — essentially, a space dashboard, a 3D space situational awareness portal to track objects and analyze data.

Purdue University's College of Engineering and the Office of Professional Practice (OPP) have launched a new co-op model that not only provides an immersive industry experience, but also allows students to graduate on time.

The proposed program, called Blue Integrated Partnerships (BIP), has received a $2.8 million grant from ONR’s Mission Capable, Persistent and Survivable Platforms Department. Luciano Castillo, Purdue’s Kenninger Professor of Renewable Energy and Power Systems in Mechanical Engineering, is the program’s principal investigator.

Guillermo Paniagua, professor of mechanical engineering, has received the prestigious Humboldt Research Award and will move to Germany for six months to research at Technical University of Darmstadt.

Purdue University is bringing its campus-wide commitment to and expertise in the science of systems thinking and engineering to a top international body for the field, the International Council on Systems Engineering (INCOSE).
