Dean, College of Engineering
Purdue University
West Lafayette, Indiana Purdue University seeks a dynamic leader
with a compelling vision for excellence to serve as the next Dean
of the College of Engineering. This is a singular opportunity to
lead the largest top-ranked college of engineering in the nation at
a university with a track record of innovation and impact on a
global scale. Purdue is seeking an energetic leader who will
attract and support eminent and promising talent, inspire the
College to build upon its success, and grow its diverse and
inclusive community. With a new President beginning his term next
year, a transformative development in Purdue's presence in
Indianapolis, and the momentum from a decade of unprecedented
success, this is an exciting time in the history of the University
and the College. The next Dean will have the opportunity to pursue
and lead truly game-changing initiatives that will impact the
state, nation, and world. Established in 1869, Purdue is Indiana's
land-grant university, a comprehensive educational and research
institution that is a member of the American Association of
Universities (AAU). The West Lafayette Campus, located one hour
north of Indianapolis and two hours south of downtown Chicago, has
10 academic colleges with an enrollment of more than 50,000
students. Purdue's strengths in technology (Polytechnic Institute),
Agriculture, Science, Veterinary Medicine, Pharmacy, Liberal Arts,
Management, Health and Human Sciences, and Education contribute to
a robust research and educational environment and complement
Engineering's world class programs. The College of Engineering has
a proud tradition of pioneering research, leadership in educational
innovation, and in creating programs for women and minorities in
engineering that have become models for the rest of the country to
emulate and follow. The Dean, reporting directly to the Provost,
serves as the chief academic and administrative officer of the
College of Engineering and will play a central role in leading the
College to the next level of preeminence. With more than 11,000
undergraduate students and 4,600 graduate students, the College is
the largest top-ranked engineering college in America and the
birthplace of the National Society of Black Engineers and the
Engineering Education Initiative. The more than 400 faculty in the
College of Engineering include 20 members of the National Academy
of Engineering, more than 150 Fellows in Engineering and Science
Societies, nearly 100 distinguished and named professors, 10
recipients of the U.S. Presidential Early Career Award for
Scientists and Engineers, and one recipient of the National Medal
of Technology and Innovation. During the last campaign, Ever True,
the College raised more than $1 billion in philanthropic support.
The College has an endowment of more than $630 million and a
research enterprise of more than $300 million per year. Purdue is
proud of its more than 105,000 engineering alumni, including Neil
Armstrong and many other astronauts and numerous global corporate
CEOs. The College is rated among the top in the nation for the
recruitment of students by industry. Essential Qualifications:
