Purdue Polytechnic faculty are collaborating to explore the intersection between learning and work within the context of technology, developing and applying new approaches to education and workforce training and development. Their research cluster has been titled “Future Work and Learning,” one of the college’s five new research impact areas.

A knowledge gap in the development of alternative aviation fuels led to the creation of the Fuel Laboratory of Renewable Energy (FLORE), a new interdisciplinary research lab in Purdue’s Potter Engineering Center directed by Gozdem Kilaz, assistant professor of engineering technology.

Purdue Polytechnic faculty with expertise in advanced materials, data visualization and analytics, design, health applications, manufacturing and processes, robotics and mechatronics, systems and networks, and sensors are engaged in research which has been titled “Realizing the Digital Enterprise,” one of the college’s five new research impact areas.

In partnership with Purdue’s Office of Undergraduate Research, Purdue Polytechnic awarded 12 scholarships to undergraduate students to recognize their engagement in original research, scholarship, or creative work under the guidance of faculty mentors. Students are studying robotics in construction education, perceptions of STEM stereotypes, social engineering attacks, and the effects of pulsed die lube spray on high pressure die casting, among other projects.
