2 PURDUE ENGINEERING

FROM THE PRES IDENTChange is certainly an appropriate theme for the College of Engineering and for Purdue University as we move into 2005.

From the changing landscape of new and renovated buildings, to the addition of endowed professorships and new faculty members, to the creation of new programs of academic pursuit and the discoveries that will drive our future, we are seeing amazing progress.

I have been part of strategic planning processes at four major universities. All of them have been successful. All of them ultimately led to major changes and improvements for their institutions. But the five-year process we put in motion for Purdue in late 2001 has been the most successful and productive implementation of a strategic plan that I have ever seen.

We are now past the halfway point in our plan, and I can say without reservation that it is the right plan for Purdue. It already has made Purdue a greater university

with better facilities, stronger academic programs, a more diverse and better-prepared student body, more extensive research programs, and more financial resources.

Our work is by no means done, and I will not be satisfied until we have carried out all the goals of the plan. Finishing the job will not be easy, because we could not anticipate every problem we would encounter over the five-year period. However, the majority of our assumptions have proved to be sound, and we are on target and on schedule on almost every front.

This annual report will highlight our recent accomplishments and progress in engineering. It will foreshadow the changes that lie ahead and will inspire our thoughts of the future. ❂

FROM THE DEANcurrently teeming with construction, should see the completion of several facilities in Discovery Park and elsewhere by the end of 2005. The support of our building campaign has also been phenomenal.

As important as the buildings are the faculty members who will teach, research, and create inside them. The Hired Minds article details a Lilly Endowment grant, which—when coupled with Purdue’s Faculty Endowment Challenge—will help bring 12 endowed professorships to the university. Thanks to the generosity of three families and one company, Engineering is searching this spring for four professors to become named professors in our signature areas.

Finally, Investment Futures shows how one company, Convergys, is making a high- tech education affordable for students and their families. Nothing is more important on campus than our students. At Purdue, we’re committed to educating the engineers of the 21st century. That pool of students, ultimately reflecting a population as diverse as our own, will produce individuals who will indeed help change the world. And our job—helping them bloom—is paramount to our success.

I want to thank everyone for supporting the College of Engineering. Your generosity will continue to maintain us for many seasons to come. ❂

Linda P. B. Katehi John A. Edwardson Dean of Engineering

An Englishman, William Browne, who lived and died long before the United States even had universities, once made a rhyme of seasons. In his work Variety, Browne writes,

“There is no season such delight can bring, As summer, autumn, winter, and the spring.”

On the Purdue campus, we’re delighted in the constant change taking place. As sure as we move from the windbreakers of fall to the heavier coats of winter, from umbrellas early in spring to our light summer clothes, Purdue is changing with every season. And we’re moving closer to our goal of preeminence.

Of course very little would change at this university without the generous gifts from the many individuals, companies, and foundations, like you and yours, who financially support Purdue and the College of Engineering. After finding your name in these pages, I hope you will read about the exciting changes that happened in the 2003-2004 academic year.

As an alumnus or someone familiar with our campus, the Season of Change article may stir up autumn memories. Much of what we celebrated at last fall’s Homecoming is owed to the success of The Campaign for Purdue.

When we talk about Building Preeminence, as we do in the second story, we know that facilities play a major role in attracting the brightest students and the best faculty while creating space for an outstanding educational and research environment. Our campus,

With a name change, new departments,

and a flurry of construction activity, the

College of Engineering is setting the

stage for a new era of excellence.

Fall 2004… It’s Homecoming weekend at Purdue University. Mid-October under a chilly, blue-gray sky, the West Lafayette campus swarms with activity. ESPN’s

“College Game Day” is in town introducing a national television audience to Purdue points of pride like the World’s Largest Drum, the Boilermaker Special, and members of a then-undefeated football team.

Beyond the game, there are celebrations galore. Friday afternoon saw the opening of the new $16 million Dick and Sandy Dauch Alumni Center. The university’s Campaign for Purdue, nearing the $1 billion mark, is about to have the ante upped on its overall goal. And a host of gift announcements, groundbreakings, and alumni reunions throughout campus tell the story of an entire university climbing toward a much-talked-about preeminence.

Refreshing winds of change have been blowing through the College of Engineering as well. In a surprise announcement, officials name a facility (heretofore known as the Millennium Engineering Building) after Purdue’s most famous alumnus, engineer, and astronaut Neil Armstrong (see sidebar on page 7).

SEASON OF CHANGE“I can’t imagine a more fitting name for this building that not only will serve as a gateway to our internationally recognized College of Engineering but also its School of Aeronautics and Astronautics,” Purdue President Martin Jischke tells gathered alumni. “The Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering will be Engineering’s crown jewel, worthy to bear the name of the first person to walk on the moon.”

While Armstrong Hall will serve as a northern gateway to the academic campus, a new southern entrance, Purdue’s Discovery Park, is thick with cranes, bulldozers, workers, and facilities on the rise that include the Birck Nanotechnology Center, the Bindley Bioscience Center, and a new biomedical engineering building. Within a few days, officials will get out the ceremonial shovels for the e-Enterprise Center.

In another week, the College of Engineering will announce several million dollars in donations for projects ranging from a new wing for the mechanical engineering building to innovative software that could improve digital imaging systems. And of the $482 million that Engineering committed to raising as part of The Campaign for Purdue, $326 million will have been raised to date. Of that total, the college raised $55.7 million last fiscal year.

While this all may sound like much ado about millions, and indeed it’s over a billion from a university perspective, all of the development efforts are tied to strategic plans. From the buildings that create space for the best learning and research environments, to startup

packages that attract world-renowned instructors and researchers, to scholarships, fellowships, and financial aid that make education affordable to all students, The Campaign for Purdue is turning dollars into possibilities.

Engineering a StrategyWith goals that call for expanding research opportunities for undergraduates, increasing the number of PhD graduates, improving diversity, enhancing an international presence, and creating a robust technology transfer, the authors of the College of Engineering’s Strategic Plan (2002-2007) can look to the 2003-2004 academic year as an important swing year. Several developments are helping bring about those changes.

In spring 2004, with an announcement from the Board of Trustees, the Schools of Engineering officially became the College of Engineering. The name change will further foster a climate of collaboration and collegiality.

“The notion of the ivory tower embodied by academic silos is rapidly falling by the wayside,” says Provost Sally Frost Mason. “It has become increasingly apparent that in order to further discovery, research institutions must increase collaborations both on and off campus.”

Those collaborations are apparent in the second full year of Engineering’s signature areas (see story on page 26). The eight multidisciplinary signature areas address

national priorities and present exciting opportunities for field-defining research. Part of the strategic plan also calls for increasing the number of faculty by 75. With more than 33 hires to date, the College of Engineering is nearly half way home to that goal.

On the undergraduate front, the Board of Trustees also took steps to stem the decline in high school students’ interest in engineering careers by creating a new Department of Engineering Education. The first of its kind in the nation, the department hopes to increase younger students’ interest in engineering while researching ways students learn engineering concepts. The department plans to establish a critical base for educational research and develop a new cadre of diverse faculty and graduates.

The department combined Purdue’s freshman engineering and interdisciplinary engineering programs. In the near future, it plans to offer graduate degrees for students studying topics such as the science of learning, the nature of problem solving and design, the role of experiential learning practices, diversity equity in engineering, and the role of educational technologies to support pedagogies of teaching and learning. There are also plans to prepare K-12 engineering teachers and to pursue accredited undergraduate degrees in engineering education and multidisciplinary engineering.CONTINUED ON PAGE 9

Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering

Located at the intersection of Northwestern and Stadium Avenues at the northern gateway to campus, the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering will be the first building on the engineering campus that all engineering students can call their own.

The building will provide an additional 125,000 square feet of space for the programs housed within as well as expansion space to enable other engineering areas to move in during renovation of existing space. The $47.7 million building is being funded by $37.7 million in state support with the remaining $10 million coming from private contributions.

Armstrong Hall will provide space to support more team-based learning, multidisciplinary work, and seamless interaction between the classroom and the lab. The architecture will celebrate the proud history and rich traditions of Purdue engineering, while inspiring current students with the creativity and imagination they will need to find solutions for today’s complex and multi-faceted challenges.

Two schools and one department will come together in Armstrong Hall. These include the School of Aeronautics and Astronautics, the School of Materials Engineering, and the new Department of Engineering Education.

The new flagship building also will house the EPICS program, or Engineering Projects in Community Service, which draws hundreds of students from dozens of majors across campus to work with engineering students and faculty to solve problems for community agencies. EPICS will have new specially designed team meeting rooms in the building, complimenting its existing, dedicated space in the Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship in Discovery Park.

The Minority Engineering Program and the Women in Engineering Program also will have new homes in Armstrong Hall. Both of these programs, which serve prospective and current engineering students, will benefit from being at the intersection of first-year engineering students, academic disciplines, and community programs.

Named for Purdue’s most inspiring alumnus—Neil Armstrong (BSAE ’55, HDR ’70), the first man to walk on the moon—this spectacular new building is set to open in 2007. ❂

EDUCATION INNOVATOR

Kamyar Haghighi, the head of the new Department of Engineering Education and a professor of agricultural and biological engineering, stands near the future site of the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering, which will house his department as well as the Minority Engineering and Women in Engineering Programs. “If we are going to continue to produce the world’s best engineers,” he says,

“it is imperative to strengthen the pipeline to K-12 education. Part of that is to perform research that will help us understand how best to teach and deliver engineering concepts to a diverse population of students, increasing the pool of students who will be both prepared for, and interested in, a career in the field.” ❂


ACADEMIC ASPIRATIONS

Javier Irizarry, a PhD candidate in civil engineering specializing in construction engineering and management, hopes to take his expertise garnered at Purdue to a faculty position within higher education. Javier has been the recipient of both the George Washington Carver Fellowship, which encourages minorities to pursue careers in academia, and the HENAAC-Society of Hispanic Professional Engineers scholarship.

His research—using quantitative measures to look at safety practices in the construction industry—should positively affect workers. “The most important resource in the construction industry is people,” Javier says. “We use machines to build great things, but people plan, design, organize, and execute the work. It’s important to look after the worker and either use our engineering knowledge to improve processes by developing and using safer machines and lighter equipment or designing construction processes for increased safety.” ❂

IMPRINTS 2004 9

Kamyar Haghighi, head of engineering education and a professor of agricultural and biological engineering, hopes the department can also play a role in better preparing students entering college for the rigors of an engineering curriculum and in attracting a more diverse group of students into the field.

“Engineering is one of the few careers that students coming out of high school have likely had no contact with, whether in school, on television, or through their own experiences,” Haghighi says. “If we are going to continue to produce the world’s best engineers, it is imperative to strengthen the pipeline to K-12 education. Part of that is to perform research that will help us understand how best to teach and deliver engineering concepts to a diverse population of students, increasing the pool of students who will be both prepared for and interested in a career in the field.”

In 2004, Purdue’s Minority Engineering Program (MEP) celebrated 30 years of bringing that wider variety of students to the field of engineering. A prototype for similar programs around the nation, MEP is growing and expanding on campus. “In a climate that has threatened the very existence of minority engineering

programs across the country, Purdue University holds fast to its commitment to creating and sustaining an environment that reflects the global community that we serve,” says MEP director Virginia Booth-Gleghorn.

“I stand with that commitment and hope to continue the legacy Purdue has established for attracting, retaining, and graduating successful engineers from traditionally underrepresented groups.

“The academic challenges facing today’s youth call for a united effort from faculty, staff, and students to discover new and innovative intervention strategies to make learning exciting and effective,” Booth-Gleghorn continues. “MEP strives to make these strategies successful and available to current and future Purdue students.”

With everything happening on campus, it’s easy to see how Purdue is moving toward preeminence. And in the midst of a five-year strategic plan, the community that makes up the College of Engineering, including faculty, staff, students, and alumni, seems to be embracing change, making the most of donated dollars, and looking forward to the autumn Homecomings down the road. ❂

BRAIN GAIN

The State of Indiana’s attempt to alleviate “brain drain” and employ technically trained graduates within Hoosier borders has benefited two chemical engineering seniors—Rebecca Reid and Patrick Ford. Rebecca, a Fort Wayne native, is a Fund for Hoosier Excellence Scholar, sponsored by Richard Lugar, an Eastman Chemical Company Merit Scholar, and a recipient of scholarships from Citgo and Purdue’s Minority Engineering Program.

Patrick, a first-generation college student from Madison County received a full-ride to Purdue courtesy of a Lilly Endowment Scholarship, a Merck Engineering and Technology Fellowship, a Dean’s Engineering Scholarship, and a Hoosier Scholarship.

Both are active in Omega Chi Epsilon, the chemical engineering honor society, where Patrick is president and Rebecca is treasurer. ❂

Forney Hall of Chemical Engineering

The School of Chemical Engineering facility improvements and addition, dedicated in the fall of 2004, were funded entirely by private support. The fundraising effort was focused through the ChE: Champions of Excellence campaign with a leadership gift of $10 million from Bob Forney (BSChE’ 47, MSIE ’48, PhD ’50) and his wife, Marilyn Forney (BSChE ’47). The overall $20 million project, including renovations to existing space, added nearly 100,000 square feet of space to the former chemical engineering building—built in the early 1940s—bringing the new facility to over 177,000 square feet of space. “We are celebrating a magnificent, state-of-the-art, teaching and research facility,” says Arvind Varma, the R. Games Slayter Distinguished Professor and head of the School of Chemical Engineering.

“The expansion will enable new explorations into the expanding fields of biotechnology, molecular modeling, catalyst design, energy, pharmaceutical engineering, and nanotechnology,” he adds.

Forney Hall provides state-of-the-art fundamentals and advanced laboratories, novel spaces integrating the theoretical and practical sides of chemical engineering. The facility also includes modern classrooms and research facilities, equipped with current information-technology tools to enable interactive learning across disciplines. “This new facility will improve the quality of our education and the quality of our well-being,” says Emily Hunter, a senior in chemical engineering.

G. V. “Rex” Reklaitis, the Edward W. Comings Professor of Chemical Engineering and former head of the school, was instrumental in the vision to expand the facilities for chemical engineering education and research. “We have realized a dream and dedicated the future excellence of chemical engineering at Purdue,” he says. ❂

In October 2004, President Martin Jischke and Dean Linda Katehi opened the doors of the Forney Hall of Chemical Engineering. Bob and Marilyn Forney (shown here) provided a leadership gift of $10 million for the building renovation and expansion.

BU I LD ING PREEMINENCEThe evolution of Purdue Engineering is

reflected in a number of facilities on

campus—built, renovated, and rising.

Amid the hush of snow and hold of ice, a winter metamorphosis is taking place on the West Lafayette campus resulting in vital new facilities. Though temperatures are frigid, progress is teeming, due not only to the building boom, but also to an evolution in engineering education and the spaces required to prepare the engineers of the future. In areas that are becoming increasingly interdisciplinary, impressive new and upgraded facilities within the College of Engineering are central to this growth in supporting learning, discovery, and engagement. Throughout the college, classroom and research space is being expanded by 65 percent. Several buildings that have been envisioned for years in the Engineering Master Facilities Plan have been dedicated, announced, or have begun construction within the last year.

“Facilities are significant and critical to the success of our faculty and students,” says Larry Huggins, adviser to the dean and former associate dean of resource management and planning in the College of Engineering. “We are now getting the facilities to enable us to do things we couldn’t do before. We’re in a better position in terms of the learning environment and research to focus on the future.”

Huggins has been part of the long-range facilities planning in the college for many years. He has seen the influence both of new facilities realized and those still on the drawing board. “They’re having an impact on our ability to be interdisciplinary and the way we’re thinking and approaching multidisciplinary kinds of initiatives,” he says.

In addition to its facilities plan, engineering also identified eight signature areas to drive its research and educational initiatives. When Martin Jischke arrived in 2000 as the tenth president of Purdue and initiated a robust campus-wide strategic planning process, the College of Engineering developed a complimentary strategic plan as well. The university plan calls for hiring 300 new faculty—75 of which will be part of the College of Engineering and require significant new space.

Huggins says the strength of the integrated plans at Purdue is evident in visible and intangible ways. “It isn’t just square footage or modern buildings,” he says. “This is changing the way we do business. Even hiring new faculty is handled in an interdisciplinary way.

“We no longer assign faculty solely to a particular department,” Huggins explains. “We now focus on ‘cluster hires’ and identify new faculty that can bridge the multiple areas of emphasis and disciplines in which they will contribute.”

The quest for preeminence is dependent on new, state-of-the-art facilities, says Michael Stitsworth, director of advancement for the College of Engineering.

“We can’t be preeminent unless our faculty members and students are working in facilities that are worthy of that goal,” Stitsworth says. “Many of our current facilities date back to the early days of engineering at Purdue. There are things we do in engineering today that didn’t even exist ten years ago, let alone decades ago when these facilities were built. Purdue engineering students need to be in classrooms that are designed to teach engineering in the most effective way possible.”

Stitsworth explains that many aspects of the new buildings are designed to provide a more real-world setting with team learning modules, labs, discussion rooms, prototype rooms, and faculty/mentor offices in close proximity to one another. “These new environments are a more realistic simulation of the work worlds our students will enter,” he says.

Fortunately for Purdue, many alumni who have excelled in engineering careers have sensed the momentum on campus and are eager to be a part of the progress.

“Everywhere you look, the place is exciting,” says Bob Bowen (BSCE ’62), chairman and CEO of Indianapolis-based Bowen Engineering. “Purdue is recruiting the top students, the SAT scores are going up every year, we’re

attracting the best faculty, and the new facilities are an important part of building the best engineering college in the world.”

Bowen speaks from experience. In addition to being a Boilermaker himself, the staff of his large construction corporation reads like a Purdue alumni roster. Of the 65 professional engineers employed at Bowen, 50 are Purdue graduates, with about one-third each coming from civil engineering, construction engineering and management, and building construction management technology.

“Hiring Purdue grads has been the best investment I’ve ever made,” Bowen says. “I owe my company’s success to Purdue.”

Bowen and his wife, Terry, have shown their gratitude to Purdue in significant ways. The Robert L. and Terry L. Bowen Laboratory for Large-Scale Civil Engineering Research, an $11 million facility, was dedicated in fall of 2003 and is one of the few facilities of its kind in the world. It provides Purdue with the ability to test large structures in their full size for accuracy, using advanced instrumentation and technology. It also can accommodate testing in multiple areas including hydraulics and materials as well as structures.

AIRBORNE SCHOLAR

“I plan on becoming a design engineer in the aerospace industry and earning both a master’s and an MBA,” says Milton Davis, a senior in aeronautics and astronautics. A NASA scholarship helped him achieve those engineering dreams. After walking through ceremonies in December of 2004, Milton became a first-generation college graduate. When the scholarship freed him up from part-time jobs, his grade point average soared. Likewise, summer internships with General Electric in Cincinnati and NASA in Maryland helped him define a career path, which may not be limited by the sky. Today he’s back at NASA in Maryland. ❂

IMPRINTS 2004 17


The new Biomedical Engineering Building—a $25 million, 91,000 square-foot facility—will include open labs next to classrooms, mix-and-match lecture halls, and hands-on and small group instruction rooms.

The Bowen Lab was the first of the buildings outlined in the Engineering Master Facilities Plan to be dedicated. An extraordinary project, says Huggins, because it was fully funded with private donations and completed in just one year. “That’s rare to unheard of,” he says of the timeline, which is usually much longer for new university buildings. Two factors aided the process: employing a design-build concept where building is begun while design is still being integrated into the plans; and building the lab on land owned by the Purdue Research Foundation rather than Purdue University. When building on state-owned property, there are several additional steps involved, which require more time, Huggins explains. With the land secured, Harold Force (BSCE ’73, MSCE ’74) of Force Construction Co., in Columbus, Indiana, donated his expertise to develop the design-build concept and much of the labor to make it a reality.

As the current chairs of the Purdue President’s Council, the Bowens know the value and importance of alumni giving to the university. It’s a theme they plan to

emphasize throughout their term of leadership. “Giving to Purdue is exciting and fun and rewarding,” says Bob Bowen. “These alums love Purdue and want to be part of the success. Giving back is part of the responsibility of being a Purdue grad, and I can’t think of a better way to give than to something lasting like Purdue.”

The Bowens represent many Purdue alumni and other friends who have been generous in their support of the College of Engineering. In addition to the Bowen Lab, five other facilities throughout the College of Engineering, as well as those in the interdisciplinary Discovery Park, are contributing to its quest for preeminence. Updates for each can be found throughout this publication.

Biomedical Engineering BuildingThe new $25 million Biomedical Engineering Building—the first of its kind at any academic institution in Indiana—is under construction adjacent to Discovery Park. Set to open in the spring of 2006, its deliberate placement positions it close to new and existing life-sciences buildings to take advantage of synergies.




George Wodicka, professor and head of the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering (see sidebar), says the process of designing a new building while creating the curriculum for a new school is reflective of the interdisciplinary, collaborative nature of biomedical engineering. “There are few academic programs that are in a curricular-design mode and building-design mode at the same time,” he says. “Typically, the building is wrapped around the existing curriculum or the building gets built and the academic programs come later. This has been a fascinating process.”

The project has been equally exciting for the architects at BSA LifeStructures, Inc., an Indianapolis-based architecture and engineering firm specializing in science, academic, and healthcare facilities. “The collaborative nature of the biomedical engineering group made it special,” says Geoff Lisle, principal in BSA LifeStructures. “This is something very personal for all of them, there’s a lot of involvement and ownership, and that energy and enthusiasm rolls through the whole group and makes it exciting.”

The new 91,000-square-foot building will include open labs next to classrooms, mix-and-match lecture halls, hands-on and small group instruction rooms to facilitate greater understanding of specific problems,

and the use of traditional “non-space” such as hallways and windows.

“The building needs to reflect that things are not done in a vacuum in this discipline,” says Lisle. “In this case, the building is designed to be very dynamic with a lot of vertical and horizontal movement throughout, visual expanse, and spaces and zones for interactions along the way.”

The building will bring together faculty distributed around campus into a single teaching and research environment that will enhance key partnerships with Indiana medical-device and biotechnology companies specializing in orthopedic, cardiovascular, and tissue engineering. Wodicka estimates that the faculty ranks will grow from 6 to 20 professors and the new building will significantly aid programs to support undergraduate and graduate students. The school welcomed its first official undergraduates in the fall of 2004.

The Indiana General Assembly last year authorized Purdue to issue bonds to cover $13 million of the building’s cost. The remaining $12 million is being funded through private donations, including a $5 million gift from the Whitaker Foundation, an independent foundation based in Arlington, Virginia, that supports biomedical engineering research and education. ❂

Weldon School

Purdue’s Department of Biomedical Engineering is getting a new name and an expanded designation in addition to a new facility. In recognition of a $10 million gift from the Weldon family of Evergreen, Colorado, and Atlanta, Georgia, the department is now the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering. The naming and school status were introduced at the President’s Council Annual Dinner in October 2004 and later ratified by the Board of Trustees. The Weldon family gift will be used to hire additional faculty, support undergraduate and graduate students, and pay for other faculty startup expenses including research initiatives.

“The Weldons have a legacy of giving to Purdue,” says George Wodicka, professor and head of biomedical engineering. “Their latest contribution will help Purdue and Indiana create better living through new medical treatments and diagnostics, engineering everything from advanced orthopedic and cardiovascular implants to innovative tissue grafts to heal wounds.”

Norman Weldon (BS ’56, agriculture, MS ’62, management, PhD ’64, economics), a native of Kentland, Indiana, and his wife, Carol, live in Colorado. Norman has been a friend and adviser to biomedical engineering at Purdue since its inception in 1974. He is managing director of Partisan Management Group, a venture capital

fund he co-founded in 1992. He was also president and CEO of Corvita Corporation, a medical device company he co-founded in 1986 and sold to Pfizer, Inc. a decade later. Carol, a native of Newton County, Indiana, studied home economics at Purdue and is a trustee of the Weldon Foundation, the family’s philanthropic foundation.

The gift also comes from the Weldon’s son, Thomas (BSIE ’77), co-founder and chairman of The Innovation Factory, a life-sciences incubator in Atlanta. He has launched nine early-stage medical-device companies including Novoste Corporation, of which he currently serves as chairman. Thomas lives in Atlanta with his wife, Cheryl, and holds more than a dozen patents with biomedical applications. He also is co-founder and chairman of Accuitive Medical Ventures, a $55 million medical-device venture capital fund.

“We are making this commitment to Purdue because it reflects our business interests,” says Norman Weldon.

“Being part of a venture to grow a department into a school is innovative and exciting, much like the medical-device startup environment. It represents the culmination of our longtime association with biomedical engineering at Purdue.”

The Weldon’s daughter, Cynthia (BSIE ’80), also is a Boilermaker with an MBA from Harvard University. ❂

The College of Engineering is seeking to fill

four endowed professorships in signature

areas that will lead to both research

breakthroughs and economic impact.

By the time leaves bud on campus trees in the spring of 2005, several new buildings in Discovery Park will be open for business. And to make the most out of these world-class facilities, Purdue is committed to hiring world-class talent. With help from a Lilly Endowment grant, the university is adding 12 new endowed professorships to attract leading faculty.

You may have encountered such a professor in your own schooldays. They are the passionate ones who inspire students in lecture halls, lead laboratory teams toward breakthrough discoveries, and impact the economy with intellectual property. The College of Engineering can already boast of 37 named and distinguished professors. Among them are Leslie Geddes, Showalter Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Bioengineering, Leah Jamieson, Ransburg Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Chin-Teh Sun, Neil A. Armstrong Distinguished Professor of Aeronautical and Astronautical Engineering.

The 12 (university-wide) new endowed professorships, which were announced at the President’s Council celebration last fall, are being funded by a combination of gifts from donors and the Lilly Endowment—$17.5 million

set aside for Purdue as part of a program called the Initiative to Recruit and Retain Intellectual Capital for Indiana Higher Education Institutions. To further the cause, Purdue used those funds to create the Faculty Endowment Challenge to leverage the grant money through matching gifts so that as many as 22 endowed faculty positions can be created on its campuses around the state.

Endowed professorships enable the university to provide extra incentives to attract and retain top-notch academics by using the yearly earnings on substantial gifts to the university while the principal remains intact. The College of Engineering is focusing on finding four renowned experts to bolster four of their eight signature areas (see page 26). And thanks to Lilly’s matching commitment, says Mark Smith, the Michael J. and Katherine R. Birck Professor and head of Electrical and Computer Engineering, each of those professors will start with a $2 million endowment.

“To help advance our research in nanotechnology,” says Smith, “the Lilly Foundation is helping enable an endowment for a director professorship in the Birck Nanotechnology Center (BNC). This prestigious professorship will be named in honor of our alumnus Jai Gupta (PhD ’74) and will allow Purdue to attract an internationally renowned scholar.”

Klod Kokini, associate dean of academic affairs and a professor of mechanical engineering, hopes these educators and researchers will have a trickle-down success effect. “Within the signature areas,” Kokini says, “we’re making cluster hires across the spectrum of faculty ranks. From assistant and associate professors to

full professors and named and distinguished professors, these new faculty are making research breakthroughs all across campus, not just in engineering.

“The endowed professorships give us a tremendous amount of capability to attract the most outstanding senior and even junior faculty to help establish the respective signature areas,” Kokini adds.

Two of the named professorships will be in the signature areas of Advanced Materials and Manufacturing and Renewable Energy and Power Systems. A third, the director professorship at the BNC, will support Nanophotonics and Nanotechnologies. And a fourth hire will have direct ties to healthcare engineering.

Dan Hirleman, the William E. and Florence E. Perry Head of Mechanical Engineering, is excited about how a community of people—from endowed professors through junior faculty and students—will help maximize the potential of the new buildings. “With the Birck Nanotechnology Center, we have a wonderful facility,” says Hirleman. “We have a lot of equipment coming in and we certainly want all that equipment to be well subscribed, if not over subscribed. As our capacity to do experimental work in nanotechnology mushrooms, we will be adding faculty who can leverage that.”

Honoring an EngineerAmong the donors is a Purdue family seeking to honor a husband and a father. The Kenninger Professorship of Renewable Energy and Power Systems, jointly funded by Ruth Kenninger and the Jaquish & Kenninger Foundation, was established in honor of Ruth Kenninger’s husband, Carl Kenninger (BSME ’49). She attended Purdue at the same time as her husband, studying home economics. Their son, Steven Kenninger (BSME ’74), along with his wife Gail Jaquish, is a co-founder of the Jaquish & Kenninger Foundation, a private charitable foundation headquartered in Lake Tahoe, Nevada.

The younger Kenninger, who also received a law degree from Stanford University in 1977 and is currently president of the investment firm QMO LLC, describes his father as a man of seeming contradictions. “He was a man of few words, yet he had a powerful presence,” he says. “He was a very kind man, yet no one and nothing intimidated him. He was a very gentle man, yet his belief in the free market often provoked spirited and philosophical discussions.”

Both men were proud of their engineering backgrounds and degrees. Even in a career that has made turns through a Los Angeles law firm and real estate development companies, Steven Kenninger credits the problem-solving skills he picked up at Purdue responsible for “the foundation I needed to learn each new trade.” For his father, a man who spent his career in automotive-related businesses culminating as vice president of Borg Warner International, “nothing,” according to his son, “would honor him more than to have his name on a professorship involving the School of Mechanical Engineering.”

Kenninger knows the cutting-edge concerns of the Renewable Energy and Power Systems signature area. “It addresses one of the greatest future technical challenges of our economy,” he says. “We need to become energy self-sufficient for economic and security reasons and for

reasons related to the ultimate scarcity of fossil fuels. Renewable energy is our future, and we hope that both the holder of this professorship and Purdue play a leading role in achieving great advances in this technology.”

Kenninger also learned something about energy and power during his mechanical engineering days at Purdue. He did undergraduate research at the Zucrow Laboratories working on combustion processes, specifically efficiency and pollutant formation. The project was done with Hirleman, a master’s student at the time, and CONTINUED ON PAGE 25

HEAD HONCHOS

Named professors, both heads of the two largest schools within the College of Engineering, Dan Hirleman (left), the William E. and Florence E. Perry Head of Mechanical Engineering, and Mark Smith, the Michael J. and Katherine R. Birck Professor and head of Electrical and Computer Engineering, are excited about the possibilities of nanotechnology and the new Birck Nanotechnology Center (BNC). At Purdue, a vigorous effort already exists in the field with more than 100 researchers from 24 departments engaged in various nanotechnology initiatives. Here, on a cold winter day the men get a window view of the construction of both the BNC and the Bindley Bioscience Center from the Burton D. Morgan Center for Entrepreneurship (the first building completed in Purdue’s Discovery Park). ❂


TECHNOLOGY TRANSFER

With a strategic plan that calls for a “robust technology transfer,” the College of Engineering does not want to limit entrepreneurship to faculty researchers. Two mechanical engineering doctoral students, Dan Schlitz (center in the photo below) and Vishal Singhal (in the Purdue shirt), embody that startup sprit. Now graduated from Purdue, Schlitz says he followed Suresh Garimella, director of the Cooling Technologies Research Center and a professor of mechanical engineering, to West Lafayette to “work on something innovative and run a great idea through the Purdue system.”

The student pair won top prize and a cool $50,000 for their startup company, Thorrn Micro Technologies, in the 2003 Burton Morgan Entrepreneurial Competition. Their innovation: a small, quiet, high-performance device that cools computers. ❂

Three Named Professorships

The three other new professorships to be established in the College of Engineering are:

• The Jai N. Gupta Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, funded by alumnus Jai Gupta. This position will initially be designated for the director of the Birck Nanotechnology Center in Discovery Park. Gupta is president of L-3 Communications Corporation’s Government Services Group in Chantilly, Virginia. Government Services combines technology with professional services that include wide-area security systems, information technology, program management services, and support to the U.S. intelligence community. Gupta earned a doctorate in electrical and computer engineering from Purdue in 1974, is an associate fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, and is a past chairman of the International Society of Productivity Enhancement.

• The Donald A. and Nancy G. Roach Professor of Advanced Manufacturing, funded by Donald and Nancy Roach, of Barrington, Rhode Island. Donald Roach is a 1952 graduate of the School of Mechanical Engineering, and Purdue awarded him an honorary doctorate in engineering in 1995. Roach served as chair of Purdue’s President’s Council from 1999 to 2001. He also served as co-chairman for the Purdue Class of ’52 project campaign to raise funds for scholarships and Purdue’s sculpture “Transformation.”

• A professor for the Regenstrief Center for Healthcare Engineering, funded by a three-year pledge from St. Vincent Health of Indianapolis, sponsored by St. Louis-based Ascension Health, the nation’s largest Catholic and nonprofit health system. The Regenstrief Center, part of Purdue’s e-Enterprise Center in Discovery Park, will coordinate and provide support for projects to improve healthcare delivery. ❂

Discovery Park

Collaboration is inherent throughout the multi-building, multidisciplinary campus of enterprise and innovation that is Discovery Park. Two of the five buildings have particular interconnections with the College of Engineering. The $15 million Bindley Bioscience Center (BBC), set to be completed in the spring of 2005, is a place where scientists and engineers will work with an interdisciplinary approach toward solutions that improve healthcare and impact the economy. The BBC will be connected by a second-floor bridge to the Birck Nanotechnology Center (BNC), a $58.3 million, 187,000-square-foot laboratory for world-scale research and development of nanoscale technologies. While the BNC also will open in the spring of 2005, a vigorous effort exists already with more than 100 researchers from 24 departments engaged in various nanotechnology initiatives. ❂

NUCLEAR KNOW-HOW

Rusi Taleyarkhan, the Arden L. Bement Professor of Nuclear Engineering, has led research showing evidence for nuclear fusion reactions in a tabletop experiment. He is shown here with his experiment in a U.S. Department of Energy facility in Oak Ridge, Tennessee, where he conducted the research previously. “What we are doing, in effect, is producing nuclear emissions in a simple desktop apparatus,” says the named professor, who joined Purdue in the 2003-2004 academic year. “That really is the magnitude of the discovery—the ability to use simple mechanical force for the first time in history to initiate conditions comparable to the interior of the stars.” ❂

INVESTMENT FUTURESConvergys scholarships, easing the cost

of an education while preparing students

for high-tech careers, are helping a

Cincinnati-based corporation build upon

its own success.

Scholarships make all the difference. Ask Jennifer Tietz’s single mom, a teacher with two daughters in college. Or Michael Dorsey’s folks, challenged with some $40,000 in tuition for his sister with autism. Or the family of Loulwa Salem, the middle child of five, paying out-of-state tuition. Or even Daniel Wilhelm, who’s had two academic internships and wants an industry opportunity, which he may get via a recent scholarship.

Scholarships also make a difference for the company funding them. Ask Cincinnati-headquartered Convergys Corporation, which sees its support of these four Purdue University students—chosen for their academic success—as an investment in prospective interns and employees and a way to become better known.

Three Annual ScholarshipsThe story begins with Rebecca Face, director of college relations at the billing, customer care, and employee care company. Founded in 1998 when two former Cincinnati Bell companies were spun off, today Convergys employs 60,000 in 40 countries.

“We are trying to reach out through more than a career-fair initiative,” Face says of the scholarship program, her passion. “We want to have a 12-month relationship with a university and partnership opportunities year round. It’s not just about what Convergys needs, but how we can assist the university.”

That desire spawned the Convergys Academic Achievement Recognition Program at Purdue in 2001, with the first scholarships awarded in fall 2002.

On Purdue’s recommendation, Convergys awards three $5,000 scholarships each year to undergraduates who are at least in their sophomore year and enrolled in areas where the company seeks new hires—information technology, marketing, business management, accounting, and finance. If students maintain academic eligibility, scholarships can be renewed twice, for a total of $15,000.

Besides covering tuition, Convergys hopes to provide paid internships to recipients and possibly job offers at graduation.

“We’re reaching out, enhancing our college recruiting, knowing the students we gather today are our future leaders,” Face says.

“We see this as a recruiting tool to get the best and brightest,” adds Brian Potts, Convergys’ senior associate in recruiting. “We need highly specialized and technical people, so we want to be lined up with the best. That’s why we chose to do this with Purdue.”


INVESTMENT FUTURES

Grateful RecipientsFor Jennifer Tietz, who landed her scholarship in fall 2004, the award is about more than money.

“Coming from a single-parent home, I can assure you it’s definitely appreciated,” she says. “But it’s not so much about the money as the experience, the opportunity to make new connections, to meet new people and explore opportunities for my career. I’m grateful, very grateful.”

Tietz, a junior in electrical and computer engineering, most enjoys her programming courses and has already mastered several languages. “That’s what drew me to engineering,” the northwest Illinois native says. “From the very start, I wanted to go to Purdue. I feel at home here, like I’m valued.”

Senior Michael Dorsey, also studying electrical and computer engineering, is in his third year of Convergys assistance. Although he boasts a 3.26 average, he claims grades are not a given. “Unlike a lot of other students, it doesn’t come that naturally to me, so I have to work a lot harder. I’m always in class. Any questions I have, I go to office hours,” Dorsey says. “I’ve always gotten good grades. That’s what I try for.”

A native of Canada, Dorsey moved to Madison, Indiana as a child and is now a U.S. citizen. In high school, he says, “Math was my big thing. I got an honors diploma. And I came into engineering thinking I’d do computer engineering.”

The Convergys scholarship helps, he says, because his parents are challenged with the educational needs of his autistic sister and another sister soon heading to college.

College was a two-year wait after high school for Loulwa Salem (BSECE ’04), who moved from Kuwait to Texas her senior year of high school. That’s how long it took to get U.S. clearance, but she didn’t waste the time. She mastered C programming via a correspondence course.

At Purdue, she received the Convergys scholarship her last two years. The day she first learned of her selection,

“I was so happy, I was jumping up and down,” she recalls. “It felt good that the company recognized I was worth some investment.”

She also worked at Convergys as an intern and was offered a job but opted to be near family in Texas, where she now works as an IBM software engineer.

Her internship was “a big learning experience,” she says. “I was able to apply what I was learning in school. The team was wonderful and the work was helpful.”

Daniel Wilhelm, a junior in electrical and computer engineering from Columbus, Indiana, who received his Convergys scholarship in fall 2004, hopes to repeat Salem’s experience. “The financial boost is definitely good, with my sister and me both in college. I’m also hoping for an internship this summer, and the scholarship might be a foot in that door.”

After two academic internships, he says, “I’d really like to see how all the engineering concepts I learn in the classroom are applied in real life in industry.”

Learning by doing has always been his style. As a grade schooler, he wrote code for his own games, leading him to his current studies. “I wanted to see how computer software interacts with hardware and how they work in unison.”

Software-fueled CompanyEven though Convergys has a 20-year track record, the name is new, so creating recognition is another goal of the scholarships, says recruiting manager Heather Gagnier.

“A lot of people don’t know who we are because we don’t have a product. If you have a Sprint cell phone, our software generates the bill, rates the call, and tracks it.”

Convergys handles billing for many telecommunications industries, producing more than 1.5 million bills daily. It also operates dozens of call centers.

“If you’re calling 1-800-just-about-anything, you’re probably calling a Convergys person,” Gagnier says.

The company also provides human resource management, such as payroll and benefits administration, staffing, and compensation management.

“Everything we do is business-to-business,” Potts explains. “You’ve likely interacted with Convergys people and know about Convergys technology, but everyday people don’t know who we are.”

Now, the Tietz, Dorsey, Salem, and Wilhelm families know the name well. And more Purdue scholarship winners will, too. ❂

EARLY EXPERIENCE

A northwest Indiana native and a senior in nuclear engineering, Kristen Wangerin has been able to hone her research skills in the Laboratory for Neutronics and Geometry Computation. Her research with neutron capture therapy will lead her to a position in the nuclear medicine industry at GE Global, a research center in upstate New York. While there, Kristen will also pursue a master’s degree. National scholarships from the American Nuclear Society and the Society of Women Engineers, as well as an undergraduate research scholarship, have helped her along the way.

“I am always honored to be chosen as a recipient of such awards among the many deserving candidates and am grateful to those companies and individuals that help fund them,” Kristen says. “All of the scholarships awarded to me have taken the pressure off having to have a job. I could then focus not only on my studies but also become involved in student organizations and research.” ❂

Mechanical Engineering Building

The Mechanical Engineering Building will undergo a $29 million addition, made possible by private gifts and state support. In recognition of a $7 million gift from Roger Gatewood (BSME ’68), the addition will be named the Roger B. Gatewood Wing. “The facility will provide us the space and technology to become broader in our learning styles across the mechanical engineering curriculum,” says Dan Hirleman, the William E. and Florence E. Perry Head of the School of Mechanical Engineering. “We will be able to integrate experiential learning with traditional classroom experiences, thereby strengthening the education of our students and the competitive edge of our graduates.”

The 52,000 square-foot addition will include specialty labs for multi-scale manufacturing along the continuum—macroscopic and rapid prototyping, currently in existence, and now micrometer- and nanometer-length scales. The addition also will include the Product Engineering and Realization Lab (PEARL), which will enhance product manufacturing experience for students and researchers. Other space will provide labs for heat-transfer, high-temperature materials, manufacturing, bio-mechanical engineering and testing, computational nanomechanics, flame diagnostic, and calibration. The addition also will include The Ruth and Joel Spira (BS ’48, physics, HDR ’03) Laboratory for Electro-Mechanical Systems, which has an interdisciplinary focus. New and upgraded classrooms will be included, as well as computer labs and student project and organization rooms. The project will be anchored by an atrium serving as the hub of learning, teaching, and recruiting activities. This new facility also will accommodate plans to add 15 new faculty members in mechanical engineering over the next five years. Hirleman says more than $12 million in private support has been raised for the facility to date. Purdue’s state appropriation request for the spring of 2005 will include

$13 million for the facility, which, if funded, will leave an additional $4 million to be raised in donations. The facility is scheduled to open in 2008. ❂

PhD student Shuiqing Hu works in the Ruth and Joel Spira Laboratory for Electro-Mechanical Systems. Along with Arvind Raman, an associate professor of mechanical engineering, Shuiqing is developing novel techniques for the high-speed measurement of nanoscale mechanical properties of materials such as thin films and biological membranes and cells.


FIRST FRESHMEN

Two first-year engineering students from Indianapolis—Jason Kixmiller (left) and Collin Fultz—are recipients of the Delphi Corporation’s 2004-2005 FIRST scholarships. FIRST, “For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology,” is a program that couples engineering with competition. High school teams are given a generic box of parts and a six-week deadline to come up with a fully functioning, remote-controlled robot that will battle other robots. Jason and Collin participated in FIRST while at Perry Meridian High School, and each applied for the scholarship while they considered coming to Purdue. The FIRST money—a four-year scholarship that mostly covers room and board—was an enticing factor.

Now on campus, Jason is leaning towards mechanical engineering studies, while Collin, who is also involved with Air Force ROTC, is looking at aeronautics and astronautics. Both have held Rolls-Royce internships, which afforded them more experience in robotics. “My goal has been to pay my own way through college,” Jason says. “The FIRST scholarship is helping make that possible.” ❂

Wang Electrical and Computer Engineering Building

The new $20 million Wang Building will be located in Discovery Park and will provide key expansion space for ECE. The facility also will anchor a new multiphase complex outlined in the school’s strategic plan that will provide approximately 175,000 assignable square-feet of space with an ultimate cost of about $80 million. For the first facility in the complex, a $5 million lead gift from Patrick Wang (BSEE ’72, MSEE ’72, HDR ’04) is paving the way. He is chairman and chief executive officer of Johnson Electric, based in Hong Kong, the world’s largest manufacturer of micro-motors that power everything from automobile windows to handheld hairdryers.

“The new building, which will be named in memory of Patrick Wang’s father, Seng Liang Wang, is one critical component in our steps toward preeminence,” says Mark Smith, the Michael J. and Katherine R. Birck Professor and head of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.

The Wang Building will provide space for faculty doing research in energy sources and systems, fields and optics, microelectronics and nanotechnology, and VSLI and circuit design. Smith says fundraising for this first-phase building will be completed within the next two years.

The second-phase building will include labs with front-facing workstations, lockable storage rooms, video security, and raised floors. Interaction space, upgraded research infrastructure, additional offices, and various centers also are planned. These include an automatic control research and instructional complex, a large computer engineering consultation and testing lab, and a center for engineering communications, says Robert Pierret, a professor of electrical and computer engineering, who compiled the academic program statement for the new facility. “We want to do great things, and this new building will give us the facilities to do them,” he adds. “This building will take us to the next level.” ❂

TAILORED STUDIES

Daniel Brenner and Rebecca Davis represent the wide range of study options available for students in Purdue’s Department of Agricultural and Biological Engineering. Daniel, a sophomore from western New York specializing in machine systems design, has already held a summer internship with John Deere. With assistance from the USDA Multicultural Scholars Program as well as a Louis Stokes Alliance for Minority Participation Indiana Fellowship, he hopes to someday design machinery that will help feed the growing population. “I want to turn the love for agriculture that I gained on my family farm into a career that will have a positive impact on the world,” Daniel says.

Rebecca, a first-year graduate student, spent three years in industry as a process engineer. Her desire to have a positive impact on the world, along with the financial assistance of the Frederick N. Andrews fellowship, led her to Purdue’s Laboratory of Renewable Resources Engineering. “I am especially interested in biocatalysis design and bio-nanotechnology applications,” Rebecca says. “Here, we’re working on methods to more efficiently bioprocess biomass on both a macro and molecular scale.” ❂

GILBRETH FELLOW

Travis Brown, a PhD student in industrial engineering from Hopewell, Pennsylvania, was one of two students nationwide in 2004 to receive the Gilbreth Memorial Graduate Fellowship from the Institute of Industrial Engineers. Travis also received the award as a master’s student in 2001.

“The fellowship has allowed me to concentrate on my research,” says Travis, who has worked with both Srinivasan Chandrasekar, a professor of industrial engineering, and Dale Compton, the Lillian M. Gilbreth Distinguished Professor of Industrial Engineering, to produce nanochips. “We’re using the process of machining to create nanomaterials, which could result in materials having enhanced properties, such as strength, that could be used in the automobile industry and elsewhere.” ❂

Travis is making chips with a lathe. Later, under a microscope, he’ll study the mechanical properties of those chips.

MATERIALS GIRL

For the second straight year, the School of Materials Engineering swept the categories with three first-place finishes in the Engineering Senior Pledge Program. Molly Lindamood, a 2004 materials engineering graduate, co-captained her school’s team, which had the highest participation rate, the highest average per donation, and the most overall dollars pledged.

An Effron Scholarship winner, the treasurer of the Materials Engineering Society, and her school’s “outstanding senior,” Molly understands the importance of reciprocity when it comes to money.

“We feel a great sense of pride around here,” Molly says. “As one of the smaller schools with only 15 graduates last May, we were still able to come up with the most overall dollars pledged.” ❂

SENIOR PLEDGES


PLANNED GIFT

Since 1963, the Hugh W. and Edna M. Donnan Scholarship has helped ease the burden of tuition for male engineering students in need. A 1906 graduate of Purdue’s electrical engineering program, Donnan set up the scholarship through a will provision that would collect interest from a trust. Alexander Karp, the mechanical engineering junior shown here on campus, is one of ten Donnan scholars this year. The son of two Purdue graduates (a mechanical engineering father and a pharmacist mother), this St. Charles, Illinois native is well aware of the high cost of out- of-state tuition. “The scholarship allows me to focus on the challenge of my engineering studies,” Alexander says.

“I am really grateful for it.” ❂

The R. B. Stewart Society

Purdue founded the R. B. Stewart Society to recognize special benefactors who make commitments to the future of the University through their estate plans. The society is named after Robert Bruce Stewart for his commitment to higher education, his efforts on behalf of the university, and his expression of faith in the future of Purdue through his own gifts. For 36 years, Stewart served the university as its chief business officer. Just as he built a legacy for Purdue’s future through his financial genius, so too does the R.B. Stewart Society recognize individuals whose commitment and vision ensure the University’s future excellence.

Membership is available to individuals who have made a commitment to the future of Purdue through their estate plans or with a life income gift arrangement, regardless of the amount. A written confirmation of intent is required for membership. This might be a signed statement of support, a copy of the will or trust provision, or a letter or e-mail from the donor informing the University of his or her plans. For details, please contact the Planned Giving Office at 800-677-8780, or [email protected].

Type of Planned Gifts

Bequests—a donor provides in a will for the transfer of assets (cash, stocks, bonds, real estate, tangible personal property)

Life Insurance—a donor names Purdue as owner and beneficiary of the policy

Charitable Remainder Trusts—a donor places assets to be invested to

provide lifetime income that will

benefit Purdue when the trust ends

ENVIRONMENTAL ENGINEER

Plants can actually clean up pollution. That’s a message Naressa Cofield, a PhD candidate in civil engineering, hopes to keep spreading. She performs research in the growing field of phytoremediation, which uses plants to get rid of contamination. A number of plants can be used for specific environmental afflictions. Plants that accumulate metals can be grown on lands contaminated with heavy metals like lead. Metal-accumulated plants are then harvested and disposed of. Vegetation such as grasses and trees are promising for certain cleanup projects because their root systems stimulate the growth of microbes that help break down organic pollutants.

A Ford Diversity Predoctoral & Dissertation Fellow from Alabama, Naressa measures plant growth to see if plants maintain optimal functionality in contaminated soils. “This is a no-cost technology that can clean up pollution in brownfields, or former industrial sites, and give a lift to economically depressed areas,” Naressa says. ❂

DEVELOPMENT QUARTET

Four of the newer faces within the College of Engineering’s advancement staff include (from the left) Natalie Kubat, Alicia Pilon, Michael Stitsworth, and Amy Noah. The qroup has focused a great deal on Engineering’s facilities goals.

“We can’t be preeminent unless our faculty members and students are working in facilities that are worthy of that goal,” Stitsworth says of the plan.

“Many of our current facilities date back to the early days of engineering at Purdue. There are things we do in engineering today that didn’t even exist 10 years ago, let alone decades ago when these facilities were built. Purdue engineering students need to be in classrooms that are designed to teach engineering in the most effective way possible.” ❂
