Each year, the Purdue Institute of Industrial & Systems Engineers (IISE) hosts the “Beautify Grissom” competition — a unique blend of artistic expression and engineering insight. Since 2013, IE students have taken to the canvas to explore what Industrial Engineering means to them, with winning works proudly displayed in Grissom Hall to inspire current and future students alike.

Professor Gary Cheng and his team— have been selected the ASME Blackall Machine Tool and Gage Award for the paper titled "Nanoengineered Laser Shock Processing via Pulse Shaping for Nanostructuring in Metals: Multiscale simulations and experiments".

Biller, Harold T. Amrine Distinguished Professor, is the inaugural recipient of the award.

The BraunAbility team, which also won first place at the IE431 poster session in April, earned the Best Poster award at the competition hosted by George Mason University.
