Senior Marcus Lannie spearheaded the growth of Purdue's chapter of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) from 10 to 300 members while President. Before he graduated, Marcus shared the 18 personal lessons he learned from his leadership experience with ASME, to help other students and professionals to maximize their own opportunities.

A team of Purdue mechanical engineering students have devised a cheaper, cleaner, and easier way to transfer the nano-material graphene onto a chosen substrate, which has potential to revolutionize how heat is handled in smartphones and computers. The team won the Malott Innovation Awards, given to the best senior design project of the year.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded James Gibert a 5-year $600,000 CAREER grant, one of their most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty.

The School of Mechanical Engineering is pleased to announce the outstanding sophomore, junior, and senior undergraduate students of 2022.

Beth Hess has been there, done that. That's why she feels so strongly about the importance of connecting course concepts with real-world applications. She was recently was named a 2022 winner of Purdue's Excellence in Instruction Award for Lecturers.

Two students from Purdue University's School of Mechanical Engineering have been selected for the National Science Foundation’s Graduate Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP). Antonio Alvarez-Valdivia and Orlando G. Rivera Gonzalez are part of the 2022 class of GRFP Fellows. The program recognizes and supports outstanding graduate students in NSF-supported science, technology, engineering, and mathematics disciplines who are pursuing research-based master’s and doctoral degrees at accredited United States institutions.

As a lifelong motorsports fan, Morgan Fuller always has his eyes on the finish line. But his racing experiences at Purdue have taken him beyond the finish line, and on to internships with both Tesla and SpaceX!

Six Purdue ME faculty recently had promotions approved by Purdue' Board of Trustees. Ivan Christov, Chris Goldenstein, and Neera Jain have been promoted to Associate Professor; David Cappelleri, Martin Jun, and Benxin Wu have been promoted to Full Professor, as of August 15, 2022.

Every year, Purdue students design, build, test, and compete with custom race cars. This year, they're hosting a public event to unveil three of their new race cars for 2022. The event will take place in Fowler Hall on Friday, April 15, at 4:30 p.m.

Purdue University’s work in national security took another giant leap forward, as the Board of Trustees approved $73 million for the construction of a new high-speed propulsion laboratory at Zucrow Labs. Otherwise known as ZL9, the lab will feature new testing capabilities for innovative research in rocket combustion and gas turbine engines, continuing Purdue’s history of world-class research and development in those areas, and reaching a scale only found in government or large defense contractor facilities.
