At the foundation, MMRL brings together 10 faculty, especially young and emerging national leaders, from different engineering disciplines \u2014 including the schools of Industrial, Materials, Mechanical and Nuclear Engineering, with more to follow \u2014 to further manufacturing research, funding and industry collaboration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMMRL will be an \u2018umbrella\u2019 organization with experimental facilities for physical domain manufacturing,\u201d said Arvind Raman, the John A. Edwardson Dean of the College of Engineering and Robert V. Adams Professor in Mechanical Engineering. \u201cThis will allow us to have a stronger outward projection to industry partners and federal agencies and promote collaborations leading to federal funding, industry linkups and workforce development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">MMRL will have a robust educational and workforce development component, helping to create interdisciplinary, manufacturing-related professional master\u2019s degrees, executive education programs, and undergraduate minors and certificates. It aims to increase Purdue\u2019s intellectual property portfolio around manufacturing science and engineering, industrial innovations and accelerate technology commercialization. Additionally, the cutting-edge collaborative working environment is expected to attract top talent \u2014 faculty, staff, graduate students and postdocs \u2014 to the College of Engineering.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/engineering.purdue.edu\/Engr\/AboutUs\/News\/Spotlights\/2023\/2023-1002-mmrl\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read more on the College of Engineering\u2019s website.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Media are encouraged to share, post and publish this content.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. &mdash; This particular National Manufacturing Day \u2014 Oct. 6, 2023 \u2014 has extra special significance at Purdue University, as it marks the founding of its groundbreaking Manufacturing and Materials Research Laboratories (MMRL).
