The School of Mechanical Engineering atPurdue University has a mission to change the world for the better, one student at a time. We began in 1882 as experts in locomotives (thus the name"Boilermakers!") and now in the 21st century, we continue to move the world forward by combining the latest technologies with the strongest of fundamentals.

About 2,600 undergraduate students are part of thePurdueMEfamily in West Lafayette, Indiana. As one of the broadest engineering disciplines, our students and faculty have the widest variety of interests and expertise. We maintain high standards, whether in the classroom, the laboratory, or the workplace. PurdueMEis one of the top ten schools in the country, as ranked by US News & World Report.
