Purdue University Mechanical Engineering

Purdue University's School of Mechanical Engineering, established in 1882. The School of Mechanical Engineering at Purdue University is truly unique.

We began in 1882 as experts in locomotives (thus the name "Boilermakers!") And now in the 21st century, we continue to move the world forward by combining the latest technologies with the strongest of fundamentals. About 1,500 undergraduate students, 700 graduate students, and 90 faculty are part of the Purdue ME family. As the broadest engineering discipline, our students and faculty have the widest variety of interests and expertise. Design; dynamic systems; fluid mechanics; heat transfer; manufacturing; solid mechanics; systems, measurements, and controls; and thermodynamics are all a part of the ME curriculum. And our graduates put these skills to work in numerous fields, including aerospace & defense, biomedicine, manufacturing, energy, transportation, and much more.

Direct air capture is designed to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. But in the long run, does it create more carbon than it captures? Rebecca Ciez has run the numbers, including often-overlooked aspects of manufacturing the adsorbent materials for the devices: https://engineering.purdue.edu/ME/News/2026/does-direct-air-capture-create-more-carbon-than-it-removes-

Purdue AI Racing left Laguna Seca with two trophies. 🏆

The team set a new track record and won the time trials outright with a 1:27.731 lap — the first autonomous car ever to break 1:28 at WeatherTech Raceway — then carried that top seed into Indy Autonomous Challenge's first-ever autonomous passing competition on a road course, ultimately finishing runner-up after a hard-fought final against Unimore.
