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 B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in more than a dozen disciplines. Purdue's engineering program has also educated 27 of America's astronauts, including Neil Armstrong and Eugene Cernan, who were the first and last astronauts to have walked on the Moon, respectively. Many of Purdue's engineering disciplines are recognized as top-ten programs in the U.S. The college as a whole is currently ranked 4th in the U.S. of all doctorate-granting engineering schools by U.S. News & World Report.
