Purdue's first Ph.D. in Aeronautical Engineering was awarded to R. L. Duncan in 1950 for his work with Professor Maurice Zucrow on the performance of gas turbines. [4] The school's present name was adopted in 1973. [5] Purdue students have built and restored several aircraft as part of the program.
In 1874, Purdue established four-year bachelor's degree programs in civil engineering and mechanical engineering. The School of Mechanical Engineering. was created in 1882, although none of Purdue's students at the time were actually qualified to enroll in any of its courses. In 1911, the School of Chemical Engineering was founded, and in 1938 ...

In 1901, Telephone Engineering became part of ECE to accommodate the urgent need for engineers who understood how to expand telephone systems from city to city. WBAA, Indiana's oldest surviving radio station, was started in Purdue ECE in 1922.
During its first few years, the Mechanical Engineering school grew drastically, so the first of many mechanical engineering buildings was erected in 1885, originally known as the Mechanical Lab. [4] [5] The Mechanical lab was stocked with around $3000 of modern machinery and tools, but it quickly began to fail the needs of the students.
