This week, Purdue Polytechnic School of Engineering Technology and our partners Rittal LLC and Eplan Global officially opened two new learning labs in Dudley Hall — the Eplan Electrical Engineering Technology Projects Lab and the Rittal Technology Manufacturing Lab.
These aren't just rooms with equipment. They are environments that mirror how modern manufacturing actually works — connecting digital engineering, physical infrastructure, and automation from design all the way through production.
Rittal and Eplan are exactly the kind of industry partners we look for — deeply aligned with our mission to prepare job-ready engineers, and genuinely invested in our students' success. This five-year partnership goes beyond the labs, with scholarships, internships, and joint research opportunities that will grow alongside our students.
This is what it looks like when industry and education are truly working toward the same goal. 🖤💛
Purdue, Rittal and Eplan open two new learning labs in Dudley Hall, expanding a five-year partnership that brings smart manufacturing technology and workforce training to students.
