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.
Integrating technology with tradition: advancing advanced manufacturing

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.

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

Charting new territory
Purdue University is planning and designing a charter high school in Indianapolis, and the Purdue Polytechnic Institute is leading the project.
