It's no secret that an engineering career can offer some of the highest paying, in-demand jobs in the United States and countries around the world. But if you want more than a specific engineering role or need an educational approach that allows you to pursue more than one field, it can be limiting to pursue a degree that only specializes in one engineering subject.

Purdue University’s School of Aeronautics and Astronautics has established a cooperative education program with National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) in Tainan, Taiwan.

Human pathogens, such as HIV and viruses causing respiratory tract infection, have molecular fingerprints that are difficult to distinguish. To better detect these pathogens, sensors in diagnostic tools need to manipulate light on a nanoscale.

Purdue Engineering's ViPER (Vilas Pol Energy Research) lab is working on a way to upcycle plastics grocery bags to keep them out of the waste stream and environment. The key lies in the molecular structure of the plastic itself.

The College of Engineering would like to congratulate the following faculty and lecturers for their outstanding dedication to teaching Boilermaker Engineers!
