Abstract:  
Purdue's shot peening program has been greatly advanced thanks to the donation of a shot peening machine from Progressive Technologies. The Purdue University Shot Peening Center, conceptualized by Jack Champaigne, president of Electronics Inc. and a Purdue alumnus, was established as a fee-based, not-for-profit consortium that will provide research and development funding for fundamental shot peening theory and practice. The machine is a tremendous asset to Purdue's engineering department-mechanical engineering technology students can now get invaluable hands-on experience without leaving the campus.
