The School can provide a loan to support conference travel; however, this loan must be paid back, via AY release time for example. In addition, the travel request should be accompanied by a short proposal describing how the travel support fits into the requestor's plan for obtaining externally funded research. Another option for faculty to consider for temporary research support is the Purdue Research Bridge Program: https://www.purdue.edu/research/oevprp/funding-and-grant-writing/bridge-pro… Note that the Eligibility section for this funding states that faculty must have, "... an established record of externally funded research programs ..." and "... applicants must have expended all unrestricted start-up and discretionary funds." For potential graduate student travel funding outside of the School, please refer to: * https://engineering.purdue.edu/Engr/Academics/Graduate/ProfessionalDevelopm… (requires that the student has completed their prelim exam or has scheduled their prelim exam) * https://www.purdue.edu/academics/ogsps/fellowship/funding-resources-for-stu… From: Hazim Atef El Mounayri <helmouna(a)purdue.edu> Date: Monday, August 18, 2025 at 8:16 PM To: Carl R Wassgren <wassgren(a)purdue.edu>, me-indy-faculty(a)ecn.purdue.edu <me-indy-faculty(a)ecn.purdue.edu>, me-indy-staff(a)ecn.purdue.edu <me-indy-staff(a)ecn.purdue.edu> Cc: Hazim Atef El Mounayri <helmouna(a)purdue.edu> Subject: RE: Welcome and ... Hi Carl, Thank you for the update. I agree with you regarding the use of conferences as a vehicle for pursuing industrial research partnerships. However, as you might know, Indy faculty used to have a travel budget from the department which was critical for some of the members to cover (part of the cost) to attend and present at their most relevant technical conferences. This was taken away during this transition leaving faculty who don’t have research funding allocated for travel at a “research” disadvantage. On the other hand, PhD students who have not passed their prelim exam yet can apply for a $700 funding to attend a conference but they have to cover their expenses first and then be reimbursed after the conference event, which can represent a great financial burden for some of them. My understanding is that PhD students who have completed their prelim are eligible for travel support (at different level). In view of the above, I would like to request that we consider: 1. travel funding for faculty during this transition 2. PhD students access to travel support prior to the prelim exam Best, ___________________________________________ Dr. Hazim El-Mounayri | Associate Prof. of Mechanical Engineering Purdue University Indianapolis | 723 W Michigan St. SL 260 Indianapolis IN 46202 USA | 765-495-7751 (O) 317-490-6079 (M) ___________________________________________ From: Me-indy-faculty <me-indy-faculty-bounces(a)ecn.purdue.edu> On Behalf Of Carl R Wassgren Sent: Monday, August 18, 2025 4:31 PM To: me-indy-faculty(a)ecn.purdue.edu; me-indy-staff(a)ecn.purdue.edu Subject: [Me-indy-faculty] Welcome and ...

We'll automatically update the time and location once my schedule is settled. Of course you’re not required to attend these meetings, but I do find it helpful getting your feedback so I can help make positive changes. * Monthly Free Food Fridays. This event is primarily for the students, but faculty and staff are encouraged to stop by for a small snack and a quick chat with students. Zach has sent an Outlook Calendar invite for these as well just so you know when and where they’ll be. * Monthly Pizza with a Professor. The student attendance at these was poor last semester, but we’re hoping it will pick up this semester with improved advertising. We’re looking for a few volunteers to spend an informal 50 minutes having pizza with the students. Please contact Zach if you’re interested and available. * Weekly Associate Head office hour.

Tutorial Room Update
by Carl R Wassgren 19 Aug '25

19 Aug '25

The location of the Indy tutorial room has changed (again). It will now be back in EL 104. The room was underutilized last spring, but I'm hoping it'll get more use this semester. I strongly encourage you and your TAs to have your office hours there. One nice thing about this location is that there's a lounge area nearby where students can work together when not actively getting TA/instructor support in EL 104. Please let Zach know when you and your TAs want to use that room so he can keep track of everyone. I think there will be four or five tables in the room so we can cover multiple classes simultaneously. -- Carl

ME Retreat Carpooling - Respond to Zach if interested
by Zachary Daniel Sigafoes 29 Jul '25

29 Jul '25

Hello, Hopefully all your calendars are marked for the ME Staff & Faculty Retreat in West Lafayette on Thursday, August 21st. I'm reaching out to coordinate efforts for all those interested in carpooling to the event. If you are interested in carpooling (leaving from 723 West Michigan Street) please let me know if you have an interest in being either a passenger and/or driver. It would be ideal to leave Indianapolis by 7am so that we could get there for the start at 8:30pm. We would depart at 3pm after the last event is finished, arriving back in Indianapolis by 4:30pm. Kindly, Zach Sigafoes - Executive Assistant Purdue University in Indianapolis SL 260S 723 West Michigan Street Indianapolis, IN 46202 zsigafoe(a)purdue.edu<mailto:zsigafoe@purdue.edu> - 765.495.7703 [cid:78e1fe1d-f3e6-4c7d-ad0c-1a8bfb9f6a37]
