What do you get when a daughter's love for Purdue inspires her mom to go back to school? A mother-daughter duo crossing the same commencement stage, both with engineering master's degrees. πŸŽ“ Tomorrow, Karina Hollis-Braun will earn her MS from @purdueaeroastro , and her mom, Ariana, will earn her MS from @purdue.ece . They even attended a mutual math class, studying together for exams and the final. Read their incredible story at the πŸ”— in bio. #MyVictory #VictoriesAndHeroes #PurdueWeDidIt

Ready. Set. Go. One year ago, a group of @purdue.ece students blew our minds with their Rubik's Cube robot, which solves the puzzle faster than the blink of an eye. 🀯 "Before you even realize it's solved, we've solved it." The group was recognized by Guinness World Records for building the fastest robot to solve a puzzle cube. Watch the full video at the πŸ”— in bio. #VictoryLap #VictoriesAndHeroes

It is with a full heart that we can finally say we have achieved our ultimate goal, 1st Overall at Baja SAE Oregon. A testament to the beast of a car we have built, but also to our amazing members who trade sleep for Baja. Supported by the years of continuous improvement from our alumni, to the support from our oldest to newest sponsors; Thank you Placing 1st in endurance is also a massive team milestone, we came out a couple times for minor repairs but decisive teamwork got us back out fast. Hoping to keep the train πŸš‚ moving at Rochester in June. Goals set.... Goals met Results Business (Finals!): 3rd Design (Finals!): 3rd Cost: 3rd Acceleration: 6th Maneuverability: 3rd Hill Climb: 1st Rock Crawl: 10th Endurance: 1st!!! Overall: 1st!!!!!!! πŸ₯‡ #purdueme #purdueengineering
