EEE 48001 Senior Design and EEE 48100 Reflective Practitioner

EEE 48001 Senior Design: Current EEE juniors may be wondering about Senior Design next year.  The mainstream senior design course for EEE is EEE 48001/48002. Students take this course sequence in their final full academic year (fall-spring) and work on the same team with the same sponsor/client through that year. Projects are coordinated, and teams formed, by the instructional team. This year the instructional team is Ms. Whelton and Prof. Zhang. You can learn more about projects from over the years on the EEE site at Senior Design. 

EEE 48100 Reflective Practitioner: Rising EEE seniors are also welcome and encouraged to enroll in EEE 48100 Reflective Practitioner, a 1 credit course taught by Prof. Lindsey Payne in the fall.  See the attached course flyer for more details. Specific course content questions can be directed to Prof. Payne.  If interested in enrolling, speak with your EEE advisor about the course during your registration appointment.  EEE will count EEE 48100 as Technical Elective. 

EEE Combined Degree Program

Environmental and Ecological Engineering, in collaboration with other Purdue departments, schools, and programs offers a combined degree program in which a Purdue student can receive a BS degree, and with one additional year of study, a Master of Science in Environmental and Ecological Engineering (MSEEE) degree. This is accomplished by dual-counting 12 appropriate course credits at the 500 level on the BS and MSEEE Plans-of-Study.

Students with an overall GPA of 3.25 or better are encouraged to consider applying to the EEE Combined Degree program. Apply during your junior year, generally the 6th semester (or with 2 additional semesters yet to complete the BS degree).  Email eeegrad@purdue.edu with specific questions. You can also get general guidance from your EEE Faculty Mentor, your EEE advisor, Michelle Indarjit or Prof. Fu Zhao.  See the following link for details: https://engineering.purdue.edu/EEE/Academics/CurrentStudents/Graduate/CombinedDegreeProgram..

EEE Job Corner with Ms. Whelton, PE

This section is prepared for the newsletter by Ms. Margaret Whelton, PE.  She is the EEE Manager of Industrial Experience.  The responsibilities of this position include working with industry to secure internships, co-ops, and full time job opportunities for students; developing real world senior design and research projects; and facilitating partnerships between industry and Environmental and Ecological Engineering. She has twelve years of experience as a practicing environmental engineer prior to becoming part of EEE.  She is a registered professional engineer in Indiana, Virginia, and Alabama. 

Career fairs for the spring are still occurring.  There is one more career fair this month that may have some EEE opportunities.

Ag Career Fair

Another fair at the end of the month you may attend is the College of Agriculture Spring Career Fair.  If you have limited time, I always recommend EXPO in the spring semester and suggest skipping the Ag Fair.  The Ag Fair will be on February 26th from 10am to 2:30pm in the CoRec. This fair is also not on the career fair plus app.  All the companies that attend will be ag focused.  Since it is through the college of agriculture you will need to look at the majors that are environmentally related.  You should be able to see the majors and specific positions here.  Remember any company that makes something needs an environmental engineer for environmental regulations, not to mention sustainability goals. 

As of now, the Ag Fair will be the last (EEE related) career fair until the “Just in Time” career fair on April 16th.   You never know which or how many companies will come to “Just in Time” as it is those still looking for employees. 

International Student Workshops

For international students, the CCO is offering two workshops to help you prepare for the job market.  Both require registration and can be accessed via zoom or in person for the workshop itself.  You register via the event URL link in the event link.

The upcoming workshop on Work Visa Options for International Students on February 25th at 3pm.

Sustainability ON – Prof. Andrew Whelton, "Responding to and Learning from Environmental Disasters”

EEE professor, Andrew Whelton, will be featured at the next Sustainability ON. ISF sponsors the Sustainability ON series, a collaborative effort from our research communities.  He will discuss, "Responding to and Learning from Environmental Disasters: Science, Engineering, and Policy Discovery and Engagement Opportunities."  

February 27th

MRGN Cafe, 4-6pm

Purdue Engineering Up-Skill Survey

The Purdue Engineering Up-Skill Platform Project is a new student-run initiative dedicated to connecting both incoming and current Purdue Engineering students to useful resources. We understand that students arrive with varying levels of exposure to coding, CAD, advanced math, and other technical skills, which can leave many feeling left behind.  Additionally, differences in access to informal networks and external resources around Purdue can mean that some students miss out on useful tools and opportunities. 

While Purdue offers many excellent resources, they are often scattered or under-marketed, limiting their impact. Our goal is to connect students to these existing tools, learning materials, and services while identifying any gaps where additional material may be needed to better Up-Skill students. This platform will ensure equal access to vital resources for all Purdue Engineering students, fostering a more supportive and inclusive environment for all. 

To help guide this effort, we’ve created a short survey to understand the needs and experiences of current Purdue Engineering students. We especially want feedback from current freshman in engineering as most of our team consists of upperclassmen. All responses will remain anonymous.  See attached flyer.
