The Purdue University College of Engineering is the engineering school and one of eight major academic divisions of Purdue University, a public research university in West Lafayette, Indiana. Established in 2004, its forerunner began in 1874 with programs in Civil and Mechanical Engineering.
The college now offers
Departments
The College of Engineering contains eleven Schools, two Divisions, and several Programs:
Schools
- School of Aeronautics and Astronautics.[7]
- School of Agricultural and Biological Engineering.[8]
- Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering[9]
- Davidson School of Chemical Engineering[10]
- Lyles School of Civil Engineering.[11]
- Elmore Family School of Electrical and Computer Engineering.[12]
- School of Engineering Education.[13]
- School of Industrial Engineering.[14]
- School of Materials Engineering.[15]
- School of Mechanical Engineering.[16]
- School of Nuclear Engineering.[17]

History
The
The 1960s saw the establishment of the Nuclear Engineering and Women in Engineering programs. A 1 kilowatt nuclear reactor has been in operation at the campus since 1962.[22] In 1971, the National Society of Black Engineers was founded on the Purdue campus by two undergraduates. The Construction Engineering and Management Division was created in 1976. In 1989, the Materials and Electrical Engineering Building was completed, providing much-needed space for the growing School of Materials Engineering and School of Electrical Engineering. In 1995, the Engineering Projects In Community Service program was established at Purdue. Three years later, Purdue's Biomedical Engineering program was founded; in 2004, it was expanded into the Weldon School of Biomedical Engineering. That same year, the Department (now School) of Engineering Education, the first of its kind in the nation, was created.
Also in 2004, the College of Engineering was formed as an umbrella organization for the many Schools, Departments, and Divisions of Purdue's engineering programs. Three significant College of Engineering structures would be built over the next few years: the Birck Nanotechnology Center (2005) and the Biomedical Engineering Building (now the Martin C. Jischke Hall of Biomedical Engineering) (2006), both part of
Rankings
The College of Engineering's undergraduate and graduate engineering programs are highly ranked by U.S. News & World Report as some of the best engineering programs in America. Many of Purdue's engineering programs are ranked within the top 10 nationally, or near the top 10, resulting in Purdue's College of Engineering coming in 10th for undergraduate programs and 4th for graduate programs in the United States. The 2022 rankings are listed below.[5]
