🌎 We were pleased to welcome Ms. Nurul Yasmin Abdullah, Director of Education Malaysia for North and South America, to Purdue’s School of Engineering Education on May 29, 2026.

Discussions focused on potential collaborations between ENE and Malaysian Institutions of Higher Learning, including study abroad opportunities in Malaysia, faculty and student exchanges, and partnerships through programs such as Fulbright. Ms. Yasmin also expressed interest in ENE’s accredited multidisciplinary engineering program and Teaching Engineering Graduate Certificate.

During her Purdue visit, she met with Marisol Koslowski to explore additional opportunities for international engagement.
We look forward to building strong, mutually beneficial partnerships with universities across Malaysia and expanding global opportunities for our students and faculty.

Engineering meets engagement.

A Multidisciplinary Engineering student team at Purdue University developed an Animatronic Engineering Outreach Mascot for their senior capstone design project.

The animatronic purple squirrel serves as an interactive ambassador for the program, combining a plush design with motion, audio, and offline Q&A capabilities. It can greet visitors, answer common questions, and demonstrate how mechanical, electrical, and computing systems work together in a safe, reliable design.

Join us in congratulating Maxell Lumbera on successfully defending his PhD prelim in Engineering Education!

Advised by Dr. Khairiyah Mohd-Yusof, with committee members Dr. Justin Hess, Dr. Syed Ahmad Helmi Syed Hassan, and Dr. Michelle Soledad (Virginia Tech), his research explores how engineering instructors in the Philippines shift toward student-centered teaching and the role of emotions in transformative learning.

We’re excited to see the impact of his work—congrats, Maxell!

From orbit to the classroom. For their capstone design project, Multidisciplinary Engineering seniors developed a Classroom CubeSat Learning System for their senior capstone design project.

The low-cost, modular platform brings hands-on space systems learning into K–12 classrooms. Built with an Arduino-based core and swappable sensors, it allows students to run mission-style activities—collecting, analyzing, and transmitting data—through an accessible and scalable design.

Making advanced imaging more accessible. For their capstone design project, Multidisciplinary Engineering seniors developed a Portable Biodynamic Imaging System.

The compact, user-friendly system simplifies complex optical setups, allowing biologists to measure intracellular motion without specialized training. By improving usability, alignment, and portability while maintaining accuracy, the design supports applications such as chemotherapy response prediction, IVF embryo selection, and agricultural research.

Improving performance through inclusive design. For their capstone design project, Multidisciplinary Engineering seniors developed an adaptive wheelchair stability strap system for 1.0–2.5 classification wheelchair basketball athletes. The modular design features ratcheting waist belts, adjustable knee straps, footplates, and custom clamps to enhance trunk support, comfort, and durability.

Compared to existing solutions, the system is lightweight, cost-effective, and quick to adjust—helping athletes perform at a higher level with greater stability and confidence.
