Nuclear Engineering student Natalie Houghtalen keeps herself busy while simultaneously studying to obtain a challenging degree. Her fascination and passion for the multi-faceted field of nuclear engineering are detectable in nearly everything she does, and her wide range of extracurriculars make her a standout individual pursuing her dream of working in nuclear technology advocacy.

Dr. Terry Grimm (BSNE ’87) is selected as one of the recipients for 2019 College of Engineering Distinguished Engineering Alumni/Alumnae (DEA) Award. The honor is presented to “men and women who have distinguished themselves in any field in ways that reflect favorably on Purdue University, the engineering profession, or society in general,” and is the highest honor that the College bestows to an Engineering alumnus/alumna.

As we celebrate the 150th anniversary of Purdue, the four themes being highlighted align perfectly with nuclear energy because it is about the future. The first theme is a space exploration.

During a special seminar, the School of Nuclear Engineering recognized five outstanding and loyal individuals who have been with the School for 20 or more years. People are one of the most essential elements for a program to be successful and we are happy to show our sincere appreciation to those individuals who had and will continue to excel toward a pinnacle of excellence at scale.

The School of Nuclear Engineering is pleased to announce Assistant Professor Robert Bean as the recipient of the 2018 Best Teacher Award.
