Purzer shares this recognition with colleague Prof. Jonathan Hilpert for their session "Cognitive Processes Critical for Ill-Defined Problem Solving: Linking Theory, Research, and Classroom Implications," presented at the 2011 FIE conference.

The division is committed to research on learning, research on methods of instruction, the dissemination of knowledge on teaching and learning, and the development of procedures and materials for instruction.

The Leadership Minor will be an elective program coupling leadership theory with practice, leading to a certificate that is recorded on a student's transcript. Guided by a faculty mentor, students will create a personal leadership development plan, take courses on leadership concepts, peer mentor younger students, and create a portfolio of their leadership experiences.

ENE's Prof. Karl Smith participated in the consensus study, Discipline-Based Education Research: Understanding and Improving Learning in Undergraduate Science and Engineering"—one of two experts invited to represent engineering in an initiative that also encompasses physics, biology, the geosciences, chemistry, and astronomy.

Recognized for innovation in engineering education, Oakes will receive the Chester F. Carlson Award at the American Society for Engineering Education's annual awards banquet in June.

Honored for outstanding contributions to the American Society for Engineering Education, Ohland will be inducted at ASEE's annual awards banquet in June.

Held March 30, the College of Engineering's Faculty Awards of Excellence banquet honored the ENE professor for her leadership in building and expanding the School of Engineering Education, the world's first such academic unit.

Oakes, who directs Purdue's EPICS program, will receive the organization's 2012 Brian Douglas Hiltunen Award for Outstanding Contribution to the Scholarship of Engagement.

Reporting from the American Association for the Advancement of Science's annual meeting, the Chronicle of Higher Education quotes ENE professor Matt Ohland in its story "Re-Engineering Engineering Education to Retain Students."
