  • The chance to study both engineering and education, giving us the chance not only to be a member of a faculty, but in foundations, K-12, or anywhere we can really make a difference.
  • The faculty are excellent - they are enthusiastic, they care about their research and students and they really care that we succeed.
  • Purdue is a leader in engineering, and this is the place where a truly innovative program like this should be. We have all of the resources of our excellent engineering programs.

I feel the top quality of the ENE PhD program is it is at Purdue. There are many engineering opportunities here and a much larger population of engineering students.

  • It's non-traditional and the courses and research pathway follow that to a large extent. You have all the power to choose what you want to do and where you want to go.
  • I love Purdue University as it is a change from being in an unfriendly environment for unique and interdisciplinary research at the graduate level (the University of California system). Purdue has a long standing history of allowing students to pursue interdisciplinary work and it shows.
