Interdisciplinary work depends upon ‘boundary agents’ - individuals who can operate effectively across the boundaries between different disciplinary silos. Because work in industry is not organized along the traditional disciplinary boundaries that define the schools of engineering at Purdue, Professors of Engineering Practice bring an inherently interdisciplinary perspective. They can share not only their expertise in the classroom and develop engagement opportunities, but more critically they can lead in the development of new paradigms for innovative engineering practice and education.

This year's colloquium features a panel discussion and video segments from the Purdue College of Engineering Professors of Engineering Practice. Learn about their vision for preparing students in engineering careers and the activities students are taking advantage of right now.
