Three Indiana institutions are teaming up to try to develop a treatment for glioblastoma, a lethal cancer that begins with the brain or spinal cord, and is difficult to treat, often requiring a combination of surgery, chemotherapy and radiation.
Purdue University officials say they’re building on momentum for combining STEM and business education by renaming the current school of management, expanding its faculty and student enrollment and housing them in a new building.
Officials discussed their push to see Indiana ramp up its role at designing and manufacturing of semiconductor chips that are used to power the nation’s smartphones, cars, computers, medical equipment, military weapons and other technology.
On average, recipients of the state’s Manufacturing Readiness Grants added five new jobs as a result of the technology investments.
Purdue University said it has added more than 200 faculty members over the past year, marking the largest single-year increase in the school’s 153-year history.
The not-for-profit designed to help Purdue University student-athletes use their name, image and likeness to boost charitable organizations announced Thursday it is expanding its services to all of Purdue’s 385 scholarship student-athletes.
Gov. Eric Holcomb’s visit will tout the Hoosier state as a key place for Asian companies to invest and manufacture computer chips and electric vehicle batteries.
Local business and tech-industry leaders say they see the effort as a chance to increase the pipeline of qualified employees who can work at local companies.
For some years, there has been a growing consensus that while IUPUI has been successful on many levels, there is an opportunity to take the presence and engagement of IU and Purdue to the next level in our capital city.
Purdue, which now has about 5,000 students at IUPUI’s campus, hopes to expand Indianapolis enrollment by at least 1,000 once Purdue begins operating its programs here under its own name.
In coordination with Purdue, Indiana University has formed at least nine task forces to tackle various issues related to the realignment of IUPUI—one of which is athletics.
The move is intended to drive growth in enrollment, research and particularly prestige, in part by eliminating the school’s tongue-twisting name. Purdue intends to grow its presence in Indianapolis as well.
For 52 years, IUPUI has existed as a sort of marriage between Indiana University and Purdue University. As they shift that relationship, here’s what we know about what will change and what will stay the same.
The effort involves manufacturers around the state capturing data about their energy use, then sharing that information to create a “data lake” which businesses and researchers can access.
Indiana economic development leaders have been hoping for passage of the bill because the state would like to tap federal funding to land a $1.8 billion semiconductor plant at Purdue University.
The announcement for the proposed plant came one day after the U.S. Senate voted to proceed with discussions on a $52 billion federal incentive package for semiconductor manufacturing and workforce development.
The project stands to receive more than $70 million in state economic development incentives and will hinge on whether it lands federal funding though the Creating Helpful Incentives to Produce Semiconductors, or CHIPS, program.
Gov. Eric Holcomb, Indiana Secretary of Commerce Brad Chambers and Purdue University President Mitch Daniels are scheduled to join executives from SkyWater Technology to make the announcement.
MediaTek USA announced Tuesday that the center, which is expected to create up to 30 jobs, represents its first partnership with an American university, as well as a new growth model for the company.
Daniels will be replaced by the university’s dean of engineering and executive vice president for strategic initiatives, the university announced.
