Purdue University, which is part of ASPIRE, is working with the Indiana Department of Transportation on an upcoming in-road charging system that is expected to become operational this spring.

Researchers at the Purdue Applied Research Institute (PARI) are developing additive manufacturing processing methods to 3D print dark ceramics — materials that can withstand the harsh conditions of hypersonic flight — into complex shapes for hypersonic vehicle components.

Congratulations to College of Engineering researchers who have recently received patents on their intellectual property from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.

The Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers (SHPE) National Convention, held from October 30 to November 3, 2024, in Anaheim, California, saw strong representation from Purdue University's College of Engineering. Graduate students, faculty, and staff from Purdue's Graduate Engineering programs made significant contributions to this landmark event, which celebrated SHPE's 50th anniversary. SHPE is open to anyone interested in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM); members do not have to be Hispanic to join or experience the benefits of membership.

The next five to 10 years will be an exciting time for perovskite solar technology to make the next giant leap, from lab to fab.

Six people affiliated with Purdue Engineering have earned one of the highest professional distinctions available to an engineer: membership in the National Academy of Engineering (NAE).

Jeffrey Youngblood and Carlos Martinez, researchers in the College of Engineering, have developed patent-pending soybean oil- and hydrogenated soybean oil-based cationic surfactants. Youngblood is a professor and Martinez is an associate professor in the School of Materials Engineering. Youngblood also is an affiliate of Environmental and Ecological Engineering.

In recognition of Purdue Engineering's profound impact on the State of Indiana over the past 150 consequential years, John. A Edwardson Dean of Engineering Arvind Raman and students joined state legislators on Jan. 28 during Purdue Engineering Day at the Statehouse.

Purdue University's College of Engineering continues to pave the way for future innovators with its Early Discovery program, now in its ninth year. This initiative, designed to prepare freshman and sophomore undergraduate students for graduate school, has become a cornerstone in Purdue's commitment to fostering early engagement with research and professional development.

Mark Lundstrom, the Don and Carol Scifres Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has been leading the charge as the university’s chief semiconductor officer, working closely with Purdue faculty; university and College of Engineering leadership; and colleagues at Purdue Research Foundation, Indiana Economic Development Corp. and the Purdue Applied Research Institute.
