Driving Around Purdue University Campus in 4k Video

Filmed on Sunday, August 25 2024, I drive around the Purdue University campus in West Lafayette, Indiana to see what's going on. In 1865, the Indiana General Assembly voted to begin plans to establish an institution with a focus on agriculture and engineering. Tippecanoe County's offer included $150,000 from Lafayette business leader and philanthropist John Purdue. On May 6, 1869, the General Assembly established the institution in Tippecanoe County as Purdue University, in the name of the principal benefactor. By the end of the nineteenth century, Purdue's engineering laboratories included testing facilities for a locomotive, and for a Corliss steam engine—one of the most efficient engines of the time. By 1925, Purdue had the largest undergraduate engineering enrollment in the country, a status it would keep for half a century. Today. many of Purdue's engineering disciplines are recognized as top-ten programs in the U.S. Every school and department at the university was involved in some type of military research or training during World War II. During a project on radar receivers, Purdue physicists discovered properties of germanium that led to the making of the first transistor. The Army and the Navy conducted training programs at Purdue and more than 17,500 students, staff, and alumni served in the armed forces. In 1975, Purdue University joined ARPANET, an early packet-switching network that would ultimately become the foundation for the modern internet. On April 27, 2017, Purdue University announced plans to acquire for-profit college Kaplan University and convert it to a public university in the state of Indiana, subject to multiple levels of approval. That school now operates as Purdue University Global, and aims to serve adult learners. On July 1, 2024, Purdue launched Purdue University in Indianapolis, an extension of the West Lafayette campus, after the formal split of Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis. #drivingtour #purdueuniversity #campustour
