Purdue students received several awards at Inter-Noise 2018, the annual conference held by the Institute of Noise Control Engineering (INCE-USA).

The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) has given its Editor's Choice award to a Purdue article about additive manufacturing.

Ana Villanueva has been accepted into the Rising Stars in Mechanical Engineering Workshop at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, October 25-26, 2018.

Purdue has been chosen by USAID to host a $70 million consortium to create engineering solutions for the developing world. ME professor Arvind Raman is the academic director.

Intimidated by the thought of job hunting? Listen to this philosophical advice from ME senior Supriya Ramesh: "A resumé is not a constant star like the sun. Rather, it is like the moon that waxes and wanes."

It worked for her; she got internships with Tata, John Deere, and Cummins. Read the full story of her job-seeking quest.

Human skin, like any other material, obeys the laws of physics -- which means its mechanics can be predicted in computer simulations. Now a Purdue team are bringing this technology to reconstructive surgeries. Using smartphone photos and computer analysis, surgeons can now predict how specific wounds and scars will heal.

Jennifer Rumsey (BSME '96) has been named CTO of the Year by Indianapolis Business Journal. Jennifer is Vice President and Chief Technical Officer of Cummins Inc. in Columbus, Indiana.

Purdue ME student Duncan Houpt is part of the Purdue Cheerleaders, who won the national championship in 2018. Watch this video about how he's able to throw the girls high in the air!

Ilias Bilionis and Shirley Dyke have received a grant from the recently established Center for Resilient Infrastructures, Systems, and Processes. They are using computers to automatically analyze post-disaster photos, determining which structures are most at risk.

Congratulations to James Braun, winner of the Air Breathing Propulsion Graduate Award from the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA). James is a Ph.D. candidate at Zucrow Labs, working with Guillermo Paniagua's PETAL Lab.
