The U.S. News & World Report has released its national rankings of graduate programs and Environmental and Ecological Engineering jumped to 17th in the country, up from 25th the year prior.

Two graduate students with Environmental and Ecological Engineering (EEE) recently attended the 2018 Critical Materials Institute (CMI) winter meeting at Colorado School of Mines in Golden, CO.

EEE Ph.D. candidate Ehsan Vahidi, and Ph.D. candidate Hongyue Jin both presented their research at the event which focuses on improving technologies that make better use of materials that are essential for American competitiveness in clean energy.

Ehsan Vahidi, a Ph. D. candidate in Environmental and Ecological Engineering has been selected as a recipient of the A.H. Ismail Interdisciplinary Graduate School Grant.

This award is designed to provide travel support for doctoral students in interdisciplinary programs who are presenting their doctoral research at a national or international conference.

Going from textbooks and exams to pom poms and backhand springs is the typical daily routine for Environmental and Ecological Engineering (EEE) senior, Nina Deligio who is also a member of the Purdue cheerleading squad.
