Engineering Education Graduate Student Association

Engineering Education Graduate Student Association

The Engineering Education Graduate Student Association (ENEGSA) exists to enhance the scholarly community of graduate students within Purdue ENE by:

  • sponsoring seminars and activities;
  • providing graduate student representation on various student-organized committees and organizations within ENE, the College of Engineering, and the University;
  • providing opportunities for professional development and networking;
  • assisting in the recruitment of new graduate students;
  • supporting members in the mentoring of other graduate students; and
  • facilitating social interactions within the graduate student body and between the graduate student body, their families, and the community.

The ENEGSA constitution was ratified in November 2015. We are part of Purdue Graduate Student Government (PGSG), a larger organization with funding opportunities available to students and departments.
