When Rohit Malik first moved to the U.S. from India because of his dad’s work as a software engineer, Malik realized #engineering was a needed field and applicable across the world. “That experience opened my eyes to the limitless possibilities that come with being an engineer — from shaping the future of technology to making an impact on a global scale,” Malik said. “Since then, I’ve made it my life goal to be the first to do something — to pioneer new ideas, explore uncharted territory and push the boundaries of what’s possible. “That is, after all, the spirit of Purdue Engineering.”
