Why choose a bachelor degree in Industrial Engineering Technology, Quality specialization
This program prepares students for the problem-solving and decision-
making tasks in management and for technological positions in such industrial engineering technology areas as production planning and control, work methods analysis and work measurement, quality assurance and control, cost analysis, and systems and procedures analysis. This program is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology.
Career options with a bachelor degree in Industrial Engineering Technology, Quality specialization
Increased sophistication in technology and management systems is fueling the need for graduates with capabilities in both technology and business. It has become standard practice for companies of all types to establish and maintain a quality assurance (QA) or total quality management (TQM) program. Upon completion of the engineering degree program with a specialization in quality graduates will be qualified to work as a process or quality engineers or as plant managers, quality technicians, research and development technicians or total quality management supervisors. The focus on quality may offer a competitive edge to jobseekers in any manufacturing or industrial setting.
Graduation Requirements
Experiential Learning
Experiential learning is a new graduation requirement for students who will be starting Purdue University Calumet in Fall 2008. This is a new approach to teaching; students go beyond theory based learning and explore ways to gain practical knowledge within their program of study. Students will enroll in two experiential learning courses while completing their degree. Experiential learning is offered through undergraduate research, internships, service learning, cooperative education, cultural immersion/study aboard, design project or practicum. Your academic advisor will assist you in selecting an experience that is right for you.
General Admissions Information
Admission to Purdue University Calumet is based on demonstrated academic quality rank factors, which includes a high school diploma or GED, meeting subject matter requirements, grade average in degree-related subjects, as well as overall grade average, trends in achievement, class rank, SAT or ACT test scores and the strength of the college preparatory program.
- Beginning Students — Need to submit an official high school transcript or GED scores and SAT/ACT scores (writing component is required). For applicants who have graduated from high school one year or more, the appropriate placement test results from the university's Skills Assessment and Development Center will substitute for SAT or ACT scores.
- Transfer Students — Need to submit an official high school transcript or GED scores, Transfer Credit Documentation Sheet - official college/university transcripts from each institution attended (if selected for evaluation) and $30.00 Transfer Evaluation Fee (if applicable). Applicants with fewer than 15 semester credits earned must submit SAT/ACT scores or PUC placement test results
