Hi! My name is Emma Conklin-Yokel and I am from Bloomington, IL. I am a junior in IE with a minor in management. Ever since I heard about Purdue's Industrial Engineering program at an event during my senior year of high school, I knew it was for me. I was already very interested in the work engineers did but didn't know exactly what major my specific passions and strengths fit into. Industrial Engineering provided the perfect combination of technical engineering concepts paired with business, optimization, and statistics courses that really interested me. I have really enjoyed my IE coursework and am so grateful for all of the potential career paths my degree will offer me. Whether I go into manufacturing, consulting, or supply chain, I know my IE degree has prepared me well. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions you have about IE at Purdue!

Hey! I'm Ian, a Junior in Industrial Engineering from South Pasadena, CA. I am minoring in Global Engineering Studies, and I am pursuing the Certificate of Collaborative Leadership. Like many, I did not anticipate choosing IE as my major when I entered college. However, after completing design projects during my freshman year, I fell in love with the harmony of physical design and software development. Naturally, this led me to Industrial Engineering. I know that I will utilize the skills that I learn at Purdue throughout my career and personal life, because that's the beauty of IE. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have, so please reach out!
