A consortium of 27 engineers and scientists from a dozen U.S. universities developed a plan for a green alternative to the U.S.-Mexico border wall. ME's Luciano Castillo is part of the consortium whose plan was recently featured in Scientific American.

MSE’s H. Wang has developed a new approach to creating popular thin films used for devices across a broad range of fields, including optics, acoustics and electronics.

Each spring, the College of Engineering recognizes the outstanding accomplishments of our graduate students and postdocs through several prestigious awards. Graduate students also select an outstanding faculty mentor who has gone above and beyond to serve the graduate students in their program.

Millions of people are waiting for a Covid-19 vaccination — but how can we make sure enough people get the shot to offer protection to large swaths of society? ECE’s Shreyas Sundaram writes in Medium how game theory may help.

Of the 68 Purdue student-athletes who earned Academic All-Big Ten recognition this winter, nine were Purdue Engineering students.

Spirrow Therapeutics, a Purdue University-affiliated startup co-founded by ChemE's You-Yeon Won, is developing a novel treatment for a life-threatening lung condition and has won a $256,000 Small Business Technology Transfer Phase I award from the National Science Foundation.

Things get heated in tight quarters, whether it is people crowded in small spaces or miniaturized electronic components packed in products. It’s a particular problem with all the modern electronics in today’s devices and goods, as it can lead to degraded performance, shorter lifespans or outright failure.

There are encouraging signs that we’re finally picking up the pace to realize the promise of hypersonic flight — flight at speeds in excess of Mach 5, more than 3,000 mph. Private sector companies now are pushing to develop this technology, and it’s an exciting time to be in hypersonics because there’s so much interest, both commercial and military.

Stephen D. Bechtel Jr. (BSCE 1946), who led Bechtel from 1960 to 1990 and left his mark on Purdue Engineering, died at his home in San Francisco on March 15.

ME’s Issam Mudawar developed a way to dissipate that heat for highly accelerated EV battery charging — boosting driving range; decreasing consumer anxiety; and avoiding large battery packs, thereby reducing vehicle size and weight and enhancing efficiency.
