WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Three Purdue University faculty members in the College of Engineering won 2017 Faculty Early Career Development awards from the National Science Foundation, one of the most prestigious NSF honors for outstanding young researchers.

Last week, The Boeing Company announced a grant awarded to Drs. Krishna Madhavan and Kerrie Douglas for the project entitled, “Contrasting user behaviors in online learning environments.”

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue’s College of Engineering has selected a new head to lead the School of Engineering Education.

"The women in First-Year Engineering Advising are amazing team members and are absolutely phenomenal in the work that they do with our students. It doesn’t matter if it is interacting with students in advising appointments, greeting them as they come through the door, talking with them on the phone, or helping them during STAR or other interactions – the women of FYE are fantastic. Their professionalism is matched by their genuine passion for the job. They are committed to their students and the FYE mission. They are not only colleagues, but have become friends and people we can count on – for anything from answering an advising question to providing us a laugh with their humor. It is truly a joy to work with each of them." Read more below for individual messages about each of our women academic advisors!

When asked who inspires her as we reflect on Women's History Month, Allison replied, "I would have to say my mom."

Lucero "Lu" Campos is the business manager for the School of Engineering Education, the Women in Engineering Program, and the Minority Engineering Program. Born and raised across the Wabash River in Lafayette, Indiana, Lu earned a communications degree from Purdue University and her MBA from Indiana Wesleyan University.

In celebration of Women's History Month, Professor Mary Pilotte nominated Jessica Rush, current graduate student in our program. Learn more about Jessica and who inspired her!
