Transformation Continues
Today’s students in the Purdue Polytechnic Institute are experiencing more: more input from industry advisors and partners, more project-based learning, more opportunities for global and cultural activities, and more connections across courses required for their majors. And more transformation is on the way.

Chasing inspiration and catching success
Jason Brier has done this before — a lot. He gives his name-age-major intro and the witty description of his southern Indiana hometown no one has heard of. It’s all part of being a student entrepreneur at Purdue University.

Purdue Polytechnic’s Sabine Brunswicker, an internationally recognized authority on open innovation, understands the highly complex challenges that stand in the way of using the data to solve societal problems or generate life-enhancing tools.
Sustainable biofuels within reach
Gozdem Kilaz speaks with infectious enthusiasm. One of her alternative-fuel research projects — which is among several within the college — involves a patent-pending technology
that promises broad impact relatively soon.
Charting new territory
Purdue University is planning and designing a charter high school in Indianapolis, and the Purdue Polytechnic Institute is leading the project.
