The Engineering Experience

Dear High School Seniors,      I remember being in your shoes four years ago. I had just finished applying for college, savoring all the “lasts” with friends and in the sport I had dedicated four years of my life to, and was counting down the days until Winter Break and weeks until graduation in the spring. I remember balancing mixed feelings about the future. Funnily enough, it feels as though I am reliving many of these experiences and feelings all over again as I near the end of my penultimate semester at Purdue. While similar, I have found my outlook on these experiences and feelings have changed, reflecting everything I’ve learned about myself and about life these past four years. Here is what is the same, what is different, and the advice I have for you as you go through these experiences as well!      Similar to you, I am trying to savor and cherish all of my “lasts” here at Purdue: last football games as a student, last events I get to participate ...

     Purdue has 17 different engineering majors for students to choose from and almost all of them have a building that they call their “home”. Students spend a lot of time in their major’s building because many of their classes will be held there, and it serves as a great study or meeting spot. Because these buildings are such an important part of each major, we want to share their cool features and facilities!      Since there are many engineering majors and therefore so many unique engineering buildings at Purdue, we wanted to showcase where our own majors call home as well as highlight a few prominent buildings that house other popular majors. For each building, we give a brief background and history on when the building was originally built and other cool labs or features the buildings include.
