Hi! My name is Katie Adams and I'm from Granger Indiana. I'm currently a Junior studying Industrial Engineering at Purdue with a minor in management. I originally started out in Mechanical Engineering but made the switch to IE after the fall of my sophomore year. I found my love for optimization and efficiency in my day to day life, and was grateful to find a field of study that applied the same principles. With a degree in IE, I hope to be able to explore many different fields (supply chain, manufacturing, etc.) in order to apply the knowledge that I've obtained through my classes here at Purdue, while still being constantly challenged to come up with new and innovative solutions. Please reach out to me if you have any questions about IE!

Hello! My name is Arushi, and I'm from Singapore. I am a Junior double majoring in Industrial Engineering and Economics. IE interests me because it will provide me with the skills and knowledge to take on almost any role. It's is versatile and technical enough that I can go into engineering, statistics, consulting, or even finance. A background in IE will not restrict my future opportunities but rather prepare me for them.

My name is Andrew Liff, and I am a junior from Cincinnati, Ohio. I am currently studying Industrial Engineering with a minor in Management. One reason I chose to join the school of IE because of the vast amount of industries that I am able to go into with the degree in Industrial Engineering from Purdue. Another selling point for me was the bridge that IE had between technology and the human side of industry, and this appealed to me because of my interest in working with people while also improving he work that they do.

Hi, I'm Mitchell Rose from Plymouth Indiana. I am a junior in Industrial Engineering and transferred my sophomore year to Purdue University from Trine University and it was the best decision I've ever made for my education! I chose IE because I know how diverse of a career I could have with it. I am also pursuing a minor in management. With IE I hope be able to apply my skills to some impactful cause, hopefully something in energy or fighting climate change. As a junior I've already seen how I can employ my skills in potential real world projects which is very exciting!
