We asked students to share images and notes of life at Purdue IE, September 2020 with #PursistentPursuitofIE

Innovators from Purdue Industrial Engineering hope their new technology can help transform paper sheets from a notebook into a music player interface and make food packaging interactive.

David Johnson recently wrote a blog post for the Purdue College of Engineering on the role of digital modeling in the future of agriculture. We've captured it here for review.

Roshanak “Roshi” Nateghi and her students are developing predictive models to estimate the impact climate change could have on electricity and water use.

For July 2020, the College of Engineering is featuring research from across Environmental and Ecological Engineering (known as EEE at Purdue) in three episodes. This first episode is hosted by John Sutherland, the Fehsenfeld Family Head of Environmental and Ecological Engineering and features an interview with Hua Cai, an assistant professor in Environmental and Ecological Engineering and in the School of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University.

“When I was a Freshman, I went to the career fair not really sure what I wanted to do. After standing in a consulting company line at a job fair for two hours, I got up to the front only to learn they don’t take freshmen. I asked what they look for, they said, ‘consulting experience’. … I found Purdue Solutions.”

Two Purdue IE professors are on a team awarded $2.3 million to develop solutions allowing utility decision makers to assess and activate optimization, accelerate service recovery during damage or failure, and coordinate the operation points of devices under severe communication constraints.

An invention may turn one of the most widely used materials for biomedical applications into wearable devices to help monitor heart health.

A team at Purdue University has developed self-powered wearable triboelectric nanogenerators (TENGs) with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-based contact layers for monitoring cardiovascular health. TENGs help conserve mechanical energy and turn it into power.

War zones can be too far from operating rooms, preventing soldiers from receiving the surgery they need fast enough.

A Purdue University-led study is the first to show medics successfully performing surgery in life-like simulations of these war zones by receiving guidance from surgeons through an augmented reality headset.

"I came to Purdue first in 1967. It was such a good place, I decided that this was my choice." We sat down with Professor Richard Liu to talk about highlights of his career and his favorite memories.

Many students had their life turned upside down in March when classes went virtual. But some seized the moment – this was especially true of Industrial Engineering May 2020 graduate, Ivo (pronounced: EE-vo) Marrero Araña.

The School of Industrial Engineering at Purdue University invites applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor position, full-time, academic year (9 month), beginning in August 2020.

A Purdue-record 76 student-athletes earned Big Ten Distinguished Scholar recognition for their academic excellence during the 2019-20 school year. Among them is industrial engineering junior and Purdue Men's golf star, Joe Weiler.

Extreme weather and climate events cause significant loss of life and property, as well as substantial social and economic loss. Compounding the problem, population growth in vulnerable areas, resource constraints and climate extremes make it difficult to rapidly recover interrupted services — especially in the context of climate change, as we face a future in which disasters will become more severe or more frequent. And the COVID-19 pandemic has added new needs.

Purdue College of Engineering highlighted IE Professor Shimon Nof in their monthly podcast. Nof discusses the foundation of Industrial Engineering, Industry 4.0, emerging areas of research, and the role industrial engineers play in helping solve challenges from the pandemic we are facing with COVID-19.
