The event featured free Jimmy-Johns sandwiches, yard games, and info-tables from several industrial engineering students. Many Purdue IE faculty attended, including professors, advisors, and the department head. This was a fantastic opportunity for students to learn more about industrial engineering at Purdue, and many took advantage of it.
