Stan Tebbe (BSME '67) was going to be a farmer, but a math teacher told him that engineering was the way to go. He eventually also attained a management degree, and became a vice president at ExxonMobil. He supported the completion of the Tebbe TDI Laser Lab at Zucrow Labs, the largest academic propulsion lab in the world.

Good luck to two student entrepreneur teams with Purdue ME students, competing in the International Business Model Competition in Utah! FlykeART (with Juan Ramirez) reimagines the airline serving cart, and Global Sign (with Heya Kaakeh) brings sign language interpretation to educational videos.

Squishy micro-robots are on the move! David Cappelleri's latest soft-bodied mobile microbots have made the cover of the journal Micromachines.

The first ever John M. Starkey Prize in Mechanical Engineering has been awarded to Kaan Ardic, recognizing him as the top graduating senior in Purdue ME's class of 2019.

Terrell Glenn, PhD candidate in Purdue ME, helped to organize a STEM fair at Tindley Collegiate Academy in Indianapolis. WISH-TV broadcast his story.

Want to travel at Mach 6? You just need to solve some fluid dynamics problems. Thankfully, we're on the case here at Purdue ME. Assistant professor Carlo Scalo just got a grant from the Navy to build hypersonic computational models.

Congratulations to Purdue ME senior Timmy Hildebrand, voted first-team All-Big Ten in men's golf.

Remember when your parents told you to "share your toys" with others? Purdue's Mechanical Engineering students have done just that: sharing their toys with the public, as part of an annual Toy Fair event that coincides with Purdue's 150th anniversary.

This semester's projects included a lunar rover that autonomously maps lava tubes, a custom shoe insert for partial amputees, and a hybrid internal combustion engine that propels pistons with electronic solenoids.

How do you build an extra terrestrial habitat that is safe from Marsquakes, sandstorms, radiation, and other hazards? NASA have tasked Shirley Dyke's RETH Institute with finding out the solutions.
