The Purdue University College of Engineering is one of eight major academic divisions, or Colleges, of Purdue University. Purdue was founded in the 19th century to primarily be a university for engineering. Consequently, Purdue has spent a considerable amount of attention towards developing one of the finest engineering programs in America. Purdue University College of Engineering is structured around Neil Armstrong Hall, a state-of-the-art 53.2 million dollar building for engineering research.

  • The Purdue University College of Engineering is one of eight major academic divisions, or Colleges, of Purdue University. Purdue was founded in the 19th century to primarily be a university for engineering. Consequently, Purdue has spent a considerable amount of attention towards developing one of the finest engineering programs in America. Purdue University College of Engineering is structured around Neil Armstrong Hall, a state-of-the-art 53.2 million dollar building for engineering research. Purdue was one of the first universities that specialized in aerospace engineering, and later, astronautical engineering. This resulted in the creation of a top-ranked School of Aeronautics and Astronautics. Purdue's Aeronautical and Astronautical engineering program is one of the most elite of its type in America, and its school currently ranked 4th in the nation and 1st among recruiters within the aerospace and defense industries. Purdue University, along with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, has also had more alumni chosen for space flights than any other non-military institutions in America. Purdue engineering alumni have flown on approximately 37% of all U.S. manned space flights as well as served on 39 flights of the space shuttle. 2 of the 6 Americans who have flown on board the Russian Space Station Mir were Purdue engineers. Purdue's engineering program has also educated 22 of America's astronauts from its School of Aeronautics and Astronautics' engineering program, including Neil Armstrong and Eugene Cernan who were the first and last astronauts to have walked on the moon. Other noteworthy programs within the college are the industrial, nuclear, and agricultural & biological engineering programs. These often rank within the top 5 nationally.
