Connect with Current Students in PSEF

Would you like to learn about Purdue from a student's perspective? Reach out to a member of the Purdue Student Engineering Foundation (PSEF). These are current undergraduate engineering students studying at Purdue from across the United States and around the world. Check out their profiles to learn about their experiences, and then reach out to one of them using their contact form. They can be a direct resource for you as questions arise about being an engineering student. PSEFers love being Boilermakers but will also “tell it like it is,” as they want you to see the whole picture here and help you find the best college fit no matter where that may be!

The Minority Engineering Program (MEP) at Purdue University was initiated in 1974 as one of several initiatives to improve diversity and inclusion in the College of Engineering.

MEP offers programs, camps, and outreach initiatives at the K-12 level to encourage interest in the field of engineering as a whole, boost college preparation and readiness, and promote a diverse field of engineers around the world. They also support current Purdue Engineering students through programs, mentorship, and alumni networking.

The Minority Engineering Program is open to all students of all races, genders, and backgrounds.

Established in 1969, the Purdue Women in Engineering Program (WiE) was the first of its kind in the nation and has been a model for such programs at other universities.

WiE offers programs, camps, and outreach initiatives at the K-12 level to encourage interest in the field of engineering as a whole, boost college preparation and readiness, and promote a diverse field of engineers around the world. They also support current Purdue Engineering students through programs, mentorship, and alumni networking.

The Women in Engineering Program is open to all students of all races, genders, and backgrounds.
