Mission and Goals
The mission of the Purdue University School of Technology is to provide excellent technical education for students with an interest in and aptitude for applied technologies. The school also participates in appropriate applied research and service activities. The school’s goal is to produce graduates with marketable skills and the capacity for growth on the job. Its departments serve identified needs for technically trained labor within the state of Indiana. The school also provides professionally prepared teachers and administrators for the fields of industrial and vocational education.
These goals are achieved by serving students in many ways–counseling, classroom and laboratory teaching, cooperative programs, and broadly-based general education. Graduates have acquired not only technical knowledge and skills but also the ability to communicate well. They are prepared for both immediate employment and continuing development as citizens and responsible human beings. Finally, the school makes every effort to help place its students in appropriate jobs after graduation.
The Purdue University School of Technology offers two-year programs in computer information systems technology (CPT), computer-integrated manufacturing technology (CMT), mechanical engineering technology (MET), computer graphics (CGT), two- and four-year programs in electrical engineering technology (EET), and organizational leadership and supervision (OLS). The EET program is located at IUSB, and the MET program is located in Elkhart. CPT, CMT, OLS, and CGT classes are offered at both sites. Graduates will have earned the degree Associate of Science and are eligible for consideration for admission to the appropriate Purdue University–West Lafayette bachelor’s program.
Admission Criteria
Students seeking admission to Purdue University’s technology programs must be admitted to Purdue University School of Technology. Purdue University application forms may be obtained from the local Purdue office. Completed forms must be sent to Purdue University’s Office of Admissions in West Lafayette. Admission standards are set by the Purdue University School of Technology and are summarized below.
Graduation
Graduation with a minimum of 15 units or credits from a high school accredited by a state department of public instruction.
Meeting or Exceeding Minimum Subject-Matter Requirements
Most applicants far exceed the minimum requirements. For admission to the freshman class of the School of Technology, your record must include: eight semesters of English, two semesters of algebra, two semesters of geometry, and two semesters of laboratory science.
Meeting Quality Requirements
Quality is determined by considering a combination of rank in class, test scores, probability of success, grade average in college preparatory subjects, grades in courses related to the degree objective, trends in achievement, completion of high school subject-matter requirements, and the strength of the college preparatory program.
Indiana applicants should be able to demonstrate that they belong to one-half of the available pool of prospective students. This may be shown by several measurements–high school rank, test scores, and academic grade average–in combination with the other factors listed above.
Out-of-state applicants should belong to the upper one-third of the available pool according to the achievement indices described above.
Taking Required Tests
All applicants who have not completed a full year of college work are required to take the College Entrance Examination Board (CEEB), Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT), or the ACT Assessment (ACT). Students who desire early admission are encouraged to take the college entrance tests in the spring of their junior year. This requirement is waived for students who have been out of high school three or more years.
Note: Purdue University classes (*) that are offered in the fall
semesters are only offered in the fall semesters. The Purdue University classes
that are offered in the spring semesters are only offered in the spring
semesters. The IUSB classes (+) are offered every semester.
Computer graphics technology (CGT) is an important form of communication for scientists, engineers, technologists, and technicians. Each technical profession uses graphics in specific ways to explore its technology, to design solutions to technological problems, to document its products and services, and to conduct marketing worldwide.
The fields of computer graphics employ a diverse group of individuals. It is a heterogeneous mix of artists, engineers, designers, and technologists who create the volumes of technical documentation required of industry.
Advancing technology has dictated a more flexible worker, capable of adapting to rapidly changing tools and willing to acquire a broader and deeper knowledge of how images are created, edited, stored, transmitted, and combined with text and data to form the basis of technical documentation.
Because computer graphics requires a highly developed sense of visual form, some individuals choose to specialize in interpreting engineering and technological information graphically. These graphics technicians and technologists facilitate communication within and between technical specialties and with the general population. They are highly visual people interested in how images are used in all areas of society. They aid in the preparation of engineering and architectural drawings, technical manuscripts, reports, textbooks, video, and film. They prepare exhibits, models, graphs, charts, brochures, and technical renderings or artists’ conceptions.

Computer-Integrated Manufacturing Technology
Associate of
Science
Computer-Integrated Manufacturing Technology (CMT) concerns the developing field of automated manufacturing and materials handling. Emphasis is on the use of computers in design, machining, and manufacturing of products as well as in quality and process control. The study of the properties of materials and their influence on manufacturing processes is also a vital part of this field of study.
An idea becomes a product through research and development and subsequent manufacturing. Technologists in this area help arrange for production. The activities of systematic planning, design, and arrangement of processing methods and equipment will be conducted so that a product may be manufactured economically. This will usually involve a knowledge of equipment, tool design, operation sequencing, worker/machine interaction, processing procedures, and facilities and plant layout. Manufacturing technologists inevitably will work with mechanical, electrical, and industrial engineers engaged in product or plant design and in production and quality control.
A computer-integrated manufacturing system encompasses all operations from order entry to product shipment. This can lead to significant cost reductions and better quality. A fully-integrated factory will consist of modular subsystems. The CMT curriculum concentrates on the study of the individual subsystems such as materials handling systems, robotic systems, CNC machining, and automated metrology.
Graduates of the program are prepared to enter manufacturing industries as technicians, engineering aides, production assistants, and quality control assistants. With accumulation of work experience, promotion to supervisory positions or to applications specialist jobs is possible.

Engineering Technology
News reports in the press, radio, and television frequently group scientists, engineers, technologists, and technicians together without distinguishing their individual functions on the job. Although they are members of the same team, their responsibilities are different. The scientist is a theoretician, interested in ideas and concepts. The engineer is a designer and innovator concerned with new products, processes, procedures, or systems; she or he uses knowledge of mathematics and science to arrive at feasible, affordable solutions to problems.
The engineering technologist is typically a practical person interested in applying engineering principles; organizing people for industrial production, construction, or operation; and in the improvement of devices, processes, methods, or procedures. Ordinarily the technologist has earned the Bachelor of Science degree in a four-year engineering technology program. The engineering technician has usually graduated from a two-year engineering technology program with a Associate of Science degree.
