Student Spotlight

The biggest thing I learned at Purdue is how to think, and how to problem-solve. That’s what makes a good engineer, whether it’s here in Indycar, or in any other field. Having that master’s degree gives me something extra… something intangible that most people in this industry don’t have. When it comes to solving complex problems, my Purdue education gives me the edge.” 
— Angela Ashmore, Engineer on Chip Ganassi Racing’s #8 IndyCar Team 

I was learning the industry side of things, but from the academic point of view, I was missing some of the fundamentals, and that’s where Purdue’s online master’s program has filled in the gaps, and really helped me with his work that I’m passionate about.” 
— Andrew Penning, Engineering at 3M
