Faculty Success Story: Dr. Arce Receives OChE Award
Faculty Success Story: Dr. Arce Receives OChE Award
Rural Reimagined (RR) congratulates Dr. Pedro Arce on receiving the 2021 Outstanding Chemical Engineer Alum Award (OChE) at Purdue University for his work in engineering education and “his forward-thinking approach to developing an interdisciplinary model defining the ‘new’ engineer.” He has worked alongside RR on many projects and collaborations and was recognized recently for his work promoting a new type of professional engineer – one that is holistic, innovative, socially impactful, and with an entrepreneur mindset. “Engineering is not only about formulae, experimental labs and practice, it also involves the understanding of social issues and entrepreneurship to become impactful in helping communities with their challenges.”
Rural Reimagined is excited to continue its partnership with Dr. Arce, the Chemical Engineering Department, and the engineers that will graduate and hopefully serve our surrounding rural areas. Wings up!
