Officials from Ivy Tech Community College and Purdue University will unveil a collaborative effort designed to address what they’re calling an unprecedented statewide engineering shortage.

The schools said the effort will dramatically increase the number of engineering graduates from Indiana who remain in the state.

No other details on the plan were immediately available. The schools are set to make the announcement at 1:30 p.m. Wednesday on the Ivy Tech campus in Columbus.

Ivy Tech President Sue Ellspermann and Ivy Tech Columbus Chancellor Steven Combs will be joined by Arvind Raman, dean of the Purdue College of Engineering, and Arnold Morales, a systems enginner at Boeing and an Ivy Tech and Purdue graduate, at the event.

We’ll have more on the announcement in Wednesday’s INside Edge Midday Report newsletter.
