Purdue SEE students are turning ideas into impact. 🌍

In this video, you’ll see just a few examples of how our students are applying engineering to real-world challenges:
• Shrithik Sekar, EEE graduating senior, reflecting on his journey (:17-:26, 1:55- 2:08)
• The Celery Bog senior design team (Robyn DeJoan and Liz Hutzel), working to support local ecosystems (:35-:37)
• Keira Keegan, part of the Engineers Without Borders Rubona Water Distribution Project team, which earned the Silver People’s Choice Award (2:32- 2:34)

From local sustainability efforts to global water access, SEE students are making a difference where it matters most.
