For the first time in the U.S., a roadway wirelessly charged an electric heavy-duty truck driving at highway speeds — demonstrating a key technology that could help lower the costs of building electrified highways for all electric vehicles to use. This breakthrough has come through a collaborative research effort spearheaded by Purdue University, National Science Foundation (NSF), Foundation, Cummins Inc, and Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT).

We are thrilled to congratulate Jennifer Hyman (BSCE ’10, MSCE ’11) on being named one of the 38 by 38 Award recipients.

Since 1874, Purdue Engineering has built a legacy of graduates whose achievements have made a lasting impact on the world.

In 2024, that legacy inspired the launch of the 38 by 38 Award, honoring 38 exceptional alumni who, by age 38, have demonstrated remarkable achievement, rapid professional growth, and meaningful impact in their fields.

The number carries special significance. Purdue University alumnus Neil Armstrong was 38 when he became the first person to walk on the moon, embodying the courage, ambition, and determination to take a giant leap into the unknown.

The 38 by 38 honorees carry that same spirit forward, building on Purdue Engineering’s legacy while shaping what comes next.

🌟 This summer, three incredible experiences showcase the passion and impact of our community members:

🏗️ Ava Aupperle dove into preconstruction at JE Dunn Construction in Savannah, GA, discovering the teamwork, culture, and vibrant city life that make building the future so rewarding.

🔧 Hayley Cardenas interned as a Project Engineer at MATT Construction in Los Angeles, CA, gaining hands-on skills in project coordination and learning how real engineering decisions shape iconic projects like Barrington Plaza.

🌱 Faith Aurand made a difference with the Shirley Heinze Land Trust in Valparaiso, IN, learning the delicate balance of developing nature preserves and exploring the outdoors with experts—rain or shine!
