ANNOUNCED TODAY: Purdue Engineering Dean Arvind Raman has been confirmed by the U.S. Senate as undersecretary of standards and technology for @CommerceGov , also serving as director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (@NIST), effective June 1.

On Friday, colleagues, students and friends gathered in the Neil Armstrong Hall of Engineering to celebrate Dean Raman and wish him well as he heads to Washington, D.C.

Raman leaves behind a transformed College of Engineering — now the nation's largest producer of engineering degrees, ranked in the Top 4 nationally and No. 1 across all ranked online MS engineering specialties.

"Landing a rocket once is hard. Doing it 601 times ... is also extremely hard, if not harder, and requires a continued relentlessness, pursuing full and rapid reusability."

Those are the words of Purdue Engineering alumnus Jon Edwards after learning the @SpaceX Falcon 9 Booster Landing Team would receive the inaugural Neil Armstrong Space Prize.

The first-ever laureates were surprised with the news during a recent announcement. Watch their reactions below ⬇️
