March 28th, 2018

As part of the commemoration of the Purdue Engineering Presidents’ Council (PEPC) National Engineers’ Week 2018 at Purdue University, Purdue Libraries faculty and staff will host Purdue D-VELoP: Viz for Biz!, a maker-space event in the Wilmeth Active Learning Center.

Set from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Tuesday, April 3, the event will provide Boilermakers with the opportunity to create custom key chains or business nameplates in minutes via the 3D printing resources in the Libraries’ Data Visualization Experience Lab of Purdue (D-VELoP). In addition, attendees will be able to take professional quality photographs of prototypes, or capture their adventures with the latest Go-Pro and Theta cameras.

Viz for Biz! will be held on the first floor of the WALC and in the D-VELoP suite, which is located in room 3045 (in the WALC).

Boilermakers are encouraged to drop in to explore how the Library of Engineering and Science faculty and staff can help students turn their creative ideas into reality for personal and professional success!
