IntroductionThe Purdue School of Engineering and Technologyoffers undergraduate and graduate programs thatprepare students for careers in industry. The schoolis one of the largest degree-granting schools at IUPUI,with an enrollment of approximately 2,500 students.All degrees are awarded by Purdue University.

History of the PurdueSchool of Engineeringand TechnologyThe School of Engineering and Technology wasformed in 1972 and is the successor to PurdueUniversity programs that began in Indianapolis in1940. The first Purdue University courses in the citywere defense training courses sponsored by the U.S.Office of Education. After World War II, thecurriculum was changed from a certificate to adiploma program. Three technical-institute programswere established: drafting and mechanical technology,electrical technology, and supervision and productiontechnology. Ten students graduated at the firstcommencement in 1947. Freshman engineeringcourses were added in 1948; the Bachelor of Sciencein Engineering degree was first offered in 1969. Theschool now offers undergraduate and graduateprograms leading to Purdue University degrees.Several of the programs have transfer and articulationagreements with a few Indiana colleges anduniversities as well as with international institutionsabroad.

Vision and Mission of theSchoolThe vision of the Purdue School of Engineering andTechnology at IUPUI is to be one of the best urbanuniversity leaders in the disciplines of engineeringand technology.

The mission of the Purdue School of Engineering andTechnology at IUPUI is to provide for our constituents:• high quality, well-rounded, and relevant

educational experiences in an urbanenvironment;

• opportunities to develop technical proficiency,leadership, and lifelong learning skills;

• outreach and accessibility to the broadercommunity through civic engagement;

• excellence in the pursuit of basic and appliedresearch, scholarship, and creative activity; and

• activities that support the intellectual andeconomic development of business, industry,government, and community stakeholders.

AcademicProgramsThe School of Engineering and Technology is uniquein offering programs in both engineering andengineering technology. What is the differencebetween the two areas? Engineering students learnthe principles and theories needed to plan, design,

and create new products and are more likely to usebroad analytical skills in achieving engineeringsolutions. Engineering technology students learntechnical methods and practices to become expertswho apply technology to solve industrial problems.

In addition to IUPUI’s accreditation by the NorthCentral Association of Colleges and SecondarySchools, most individual programs have professionalaccreditation from either the EngineeringAccreditation Commission or the TechnologyAccreditation Commission of the Accreditation Boardfor Engineering and Technology (ABET), 111 MarketPlace, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202, (410) 347-7700. Where appropriate, program accreditation isidentified on the page describing the individual planof study.

Information TechnologyProgramsInformation technology (IT) is a broad term coveringall products and services that turn data into useful,meaningful, and accessible information. The PurdueSchool of Engineering and Technology at IUPUI hasdegree programs and courses that provide theknowledge and skills for our graduates to besuccessful in a variety of IT related careers. Theinformation technology industry has three majorfacets: computer hardware, software, and services. ITprofessionals design, develop, support, and managenetworks, such as the Internet. The applications ofthese technologies are all around us. In fact, IT isprobably already a part of your life in ways you aren’teven aware of. Computer software used to write aterm paper, computer generated animation in ablockbuster movie, networks and programs that letyou order books over the Internet, and satellites andsystems that enable NASA to conduct remote spaceexploration are all developed by creative anddedicated IT professionals.

UndergraduateAdmissionThe Purdue School of Engineering and Technologyoffers admission opportunities to all studentsqualified to complete any of its programs, as long asspace for effective instruction is available. The schoolreserves the right, however, to give admissionpreference to those students whose legal residence iswithin the state of Indiana. Inquiries about admissionas well as requests for admission applications shouldbe addressed to the Office of Admissions, CavanaughHall 129, 425 University Boulevard, IUPUI,Indianapolis, IN 46202-5140. For more informationcheck out the prospective student Web site atwww.iupui.edu/prospects.htm.

Admission with AdvancedStandingMany prospective students may be eligible to begintheir program of study in the School of Engineeringand Technology at an advanced level. Eligibility foradvanced standing will be established most frequentlyby transfer of credit from another college oruniversity, by formal advanced placement courses inhigh school, by participation in the College LevelExamination Program (CLEP), or by achievement ofcredit by examination.

Qualified applicants who have not previously attendedanother college or university may obtain specificinformation by writing the Office for AcademicPrograms, Purdue School of Engineering andTechnology, Room 215, IUPUI, 799 W. MichiganStreet, IUPUI, Indianapolis, IN 46202-5160.

TransfersFrom IUPUI Schools, Indiana UniversityCampuses, or Purdue UniversityCampuses Students wishing to transfer from these schools musthave a minimum cumulative grade point average of2.0 on a 4.0 scale and be in good academic anddisciplinary standing. The required minimum

School of Engineering and Technology 125

cumulative grade point average may be higher insome programs. Students must follow the procedureslisted below. After reviewing the transfer request andsupporting materials, the school will inform studentsin writing of the acceptance or rejection of theapplication.1. IUPUI students or students in the IU system

wishing to transfer into the School of Engineeringand Technology must apply directly to theirintended department. Transfers out of the Schoolof Engineering and Technology must be processed by the school recorder.

2. A Purdue University student from another campusmust complete an official undergraduateapplication through the IUPUI Office ofAdmissions.

3. If a student seeking admission to the School ofEngineering and Technology previously has beendismissed for academic reasons, he or she mustfile a petition for readmission that will bereviewed by the Committee on Readmissions. Thepetition may be obtained from the Office forAcademic Programs, School of Engineering andTechnology, Room 215, 799 W. Michigan Street,Indianapolis, IN 46202.

From Other Colleges and UniversitiesApplicants transferring from colleges and universitiesother than Indiana University or Purdue Universitymust fulfill the following requirements:1. An IUPUI application for undergraduate

admission and a copy of high school recordsmust be submitted to the Office of Admissions.

2. An official transcript of all course work done,from all institutions previously attended, alsomust be forwarded to the Office of Admissions.

3. For admission to an engineering or technologyprogram, residents of Indiana must have acumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 ona 4.0 scale, and out-of-state applicants must havean average of at least 2.5, for all coursespreviously taken at a recognized college oruniversity. Transfer credits are evaluated by theOffice of Admissions and distributed by the Officefor Academic Programs in coordination with thedepartment in which the student enrolls.

4. There is a residency requirement to receive adegree: transfer students must complete aprogram of study that includes at least 32 credithours for a bachelor’s degree and at least 15credit hours for an associate degree in the Schoolof Engineering and Technology. For the associatedegree, at least 6 out of the 15 credits areexpected to be in the major. For the bachelor’sdegree, at least 12 out of the 32 credits areexpected to be in the major at the junior level orhigher.

5. Individual academic programs may require thattransfer students complete specific courses priorto admission with advanced standing.

6. Transfer students must be in good academic anddisciplinary standing at the college(s) previouslyattended. Students who have been dismissed foracademic reasons by another college oruniversity, or who have less than a 2.0 grade pointaverage, must file a petition for readmission that

will be reviewed by the committee onreadmissions. The petition form may be obtainedfrom the Office for Academic Programs, ET 215.

Transfer students may receive credit in the School ofEngineering and Technology for successfullycompleted course work of equivalent amount andcharacter from another accredited college. However,if a student changes to a different course of study inthe process of transferring from another college oruniversity, credits for certain courses may not beapplicable toward requirements in the newcurriculum.

Transfer credit is not granted for work done atinstitutions that are not fully approved by a regionalaccrediting association of secondary schools andcolleges. In addition to regional association approval,certain programs may require accreditation byprofessional organizations and/or societies beforecredit will be considered for transfer. Credit will notbe transferred from any institution whose regionalaccreditation designation is A/V (Associate/Vocational-Technical).

The only exception is when agreements exist thatspecify courses or blocks of credit that will transferinto specific Purdue University degree programs.

Graduates of unaccredited institutions, proprietaryinstitutions, or institutions accredited only asoccupational training institutions are encouraged toreview their academic plans carefully before seekingadvanced credit. All prospective transfer students areencouraged to write or visit the school for furtherinformation about their opportunities.

To Other Indiana University CampusesIndiana University credits transferred from onecampus of Indiana University to another will beevaluated and accepted in terms at least as favorableas credits transferred from other accreditedinstitutions in the United States. No review of thecredits will be undertaken except on good-faithterms, using the same criteria as those used inevaluating external credits.

Second Degrees or AdditionalMajor FieldsRequirements for a Second DegreeHolders of bachelor’s degrees who have additionalacademic objectives are generally encouraged topursue appropriate graduate degree programs.Bachelor’s degree holders may, however, obtainspecial permission to enroll in programs at either theassociate or bachelor’s degree level in the School ofEngineering and Technology. Candidates must fulfillall academic requirements for the additional majorfield of study. Applicants for a second degree mustcomplete a program of study that includes at least 32credit hours for a bachelor’s degree and at least 15credit hours for an associate degree in the School ofEngineering and Technology. For the associatedegree, at least 6 out of the 15 credits are expectedto be in the major. For the bachelor’s degree, at least12 credit hours must be in the major at the juniorlevel or higher.

Graduates of the School of Engineering andTechnology are permitted to pursue a second degreeprogram.

Requirements for an Additional MajorField (Technology Programs Only)Holders of Purdue University A.S. or B.S. degrees,whether from IUPUI or another campus, may enrollin technology courses typically taken by studentscompleting degrees in a different major field. Uponsuccessful completion of the requirements for theadditional program, students will receive a notationon their transcripts that they have completed theequivalent of an additional major field of study.

Students working toward second degrees arerequired to complete all of the same courses in aplan of study as students majoring in the field for thesame degree. The student may be required tocomplete a minimum number of credit hours thathave not been used to fulfill requirements for anyother major field of study or degree program.

Dual Majors and Dual DegreesA student who will be completing the requirementsfor two or more degree programs simultaneously maybe eligible to apply for more than one degreeaccording to the following criteria:1. If the degree programs are in different schools,

the student must apply to each school for theappropriate degree. In the School of Engineeringand Technology, the student must apply for thedegree the semester prior to the one in which heor she expects to complete the degreerequirements.

2. If the degree programs are both in the School ofEngineering and Technology and lead to differentdegrees, the appropriate degrees shall beawarded.

3. In technology programs, students in all fields ofstudy receive the same degree, an A.S. or a B.S.Therefore, a student who completes multiplefields of study will receive only one degree; thetranscript will reflect the multiple fields of study.

Special CreditSpecial credit by examination, by credentials, and/orby experience may be awarded in order to helpqualified students earn their degrees more quickly.Each instructional department determines which ofits courses are available for special credit andestablishes procedures to determine studenteligibility, administer evaluations for special credit,and grade them. The evaluations are ascomprehensive as those given in the course and aregraded as either satisfactory (performancecomparable to that expected of students who receivegrades of A through C– in the course) orunsatisfactory. Newly admitted students or currentlyenrolled students who have not received a grade ordirected grade other than W (Withdrawal) in thecourse may request an examination for credit.

Responsibility for initiating a request for specialcredit in a specific course normally rests with thestudent. To find out if special credit can be awarded,the student should consider meeting first with thedepartment chair, advisor, or course instructor.


Admission of InternationalStudentsApplicants from other countries are considered foradmission on the basis of credentials certifying thecompletion of secondary school. They are notrequired to take the Scholastic Assessment Tests(SAT) or the American College Test (ACT). Officialtranslations must accompany transcripts and othercredentials not written in English. The applicant mustdemonstrate adequate English proficiency foradmission by submitting results from the Test ofEnglish as a Foreign Language (TOEFL). A TOEFLscore of at least 500 (or 173 on the computer-basedTOEFL) is required for regular admission to allundergraduate programs offered by the School ofEngineering and Technology. All internationalundergraduate students must take the IUPUI Englishas a Second Language (ESL) placement test beforethey can register for classes. They will be placed inlanguage classes based on their performance on thisexamination.

International student applicants must also furnishsufficient evidence of adequate financial support forthe entire period of their schooling. Internationalapplicants should submit all credentials at least sixmonths prior to the semester in which they want toenroll. Inquiries should be directed to the IUPUIOffice of International Affairs, 620 Union Drive,Indianapolis, IN 46202-5167.

Admission as a NondegreeStudentApplicants who want to study in any of thedepartments of the university without undertaking aregular plan of study and without becomingcandidates for degrees may be admitted as nondegreestudents. Applicants must give evidence ofprerequisite background for the course or courses inwhich they plan to enroll. Applicants who do not havebachelor’s degrees should apply to the Office ofAdmissions, Cavanaugh Hall, Room 129, 425University Boulevard, IUPUI, Indianapolis, IN 46202-5140. Regardless of whether they plan to takeundergraduate or graduate courses, applicants whohave bachelor’s degrees should apply to the IUPUIGraduate Office, Union Building 518, 620 N. UnionDrive, IUPUI, Indianapolis, IN 46202-5167; phone(317) 274-4023.

Auditing CoursesAuditors are students who want to take classeswithout receiving either credit or grades for theseclasses. Auditors may attend lecture classes when theyhave paid the appropriate fees and identifiedthemselves as auditors to the instructor. Auditors arenot admitted in courses with a credit hour laboratorycomponent.

Academic Advising andCounselingFaculty, department chairs, and the Office forAcademic Programs are available to provideinformation about programs of study and careeropportunities in engineering and technology.

Students who are admitted to the School ofEngineering and Technology are assigned an

academic advisor in their major department. Beforethey meet with their advisor for initial counseling andregistration, beginning and transfer students arerequired to participate in IUPUI’s placement testingprogram. The Office of Admissions will inform thestudents of this procedure and scheduling. Facultyare available in each department to assist students inplanning their academic programs to meetgraduation requirements. It is the student’sresponsibility to meet periodically with advisors inorder to assess progress toward an academic goal.Students may be required by departments to see anadvisor each semester to plan their course schedules.

Financial AidIt is the goal of IUPUI to encourage students in theireducational endeavors and to reduce financialbarriers. IUPUI recognizes that many students andtheir parents cannot afford to finance a collegeeducation entirely from their own income and assets.For this reason, a program of financial assistance isavailable to admitted and enrolled students who havea demonstrated financial need. Aid is available in theform of scholarships, grants, and loans.

Students desiring further information about any of thefollowing financial aid programs should write to:

Office of Scholarships and Financial AidCavanaugh Hall 103425 N. University BoulevardIUPUIIndianapolis, IN 46202-5140phone: (317) 278-FAST (278-3278)Web: www.iupui.edu/~finaid

Application ProceduresPotential financial aid recipients must complete theFree Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA),which is available from high schools, on the Web, orat the Office of Scholarships and Financial Aid. Thepriority application deadline for any summer sessionand/or the following academic year is March 1,although applications will be processed as long asfunds are available. Students who apply late shouldplan on finding other funds to pay for tuition andbooks until their financial aid applications areprocessed.


EligibilityFinancial aid awards are given on the basis of need asdetermined by the information supplied on the FAFSA.IUPUI students enrolled for 6 or more credit hoursare eligible if need is demonstrated. The amount ofthe award will be less for part-time students than forfull-time students; full-time student status isconsidered to be 12 or more credit hours. Onlyregularly admitted students and transient studentsfrom Purdue University are eligible.

Types of AidFinancial aid is generally offered as a packageconsisting of a combination of scholarships, grants,loans, and/or work-study awards, although awardsmay vary with individual students. All awards aresubject to the availability of funds.

ScholarshipsScholarships are awarded on the basis of academicachievement. Sources of scholarships may be bothinside and outside IUPUI. Scholarship awards areoften not based on need, and the student does notpay back the award later. An applicant will becontacted by IUPUI if you are eligible to apply forscholarships; if an application is required, it will besent automatically.

GrantsGrants are awarded on the basis of need only and donot have to be repaid by the student.

Academic Policiesand ProceduresProbation, Dismissal,ReinstatementAcademic Probation andAcademic DismissalAcademic standards for probation (warning status)and dismissal are established by the faculty for eachspecific academic program. Therefore, a student issubject to the regulations applicable to all studentsenrolled in a particular program at the time ofregistration. If students are experiencing academicdifficulty, they are urged to consult their academicadvisor as soon as possible.

Students will be notified by letter from the Office ofthe Associate Dean for Academic Programs, School ofEngineering and Technology, when they are placed onacademic probation. The letter will also inform thestudent of the conditions that must be met forremoval from academic probation. Students who aredismissed for academic reasons will also be notifiedby letter from the Office of the Associate Dean forAcademic Programs.

The following standards are currently applicable forstudents enrolled in the School of Engineering andTechnology.

Academic ProbationFull-time students are automatically on academicprobation when either the cumulative semester indexor the semester index is below 2.0 (C). Part-timestudents are automatically on academic probationwhen either the cumulative semester index or thegrade point average for the last 12 credit hours ofconsecutive enrollment is below 2.0 (C). All studentson probation are automatically placed on academicchecklist. Students on checklist must obtain thesignature of a departmental advisor in order toregister.

Students who, in subsequent enrollments, do notimprove significantly may receive a letter stating thatthey will be subject to dismissal if an index of 2.0 (C)or higher is not earned in the current enrollmentperiod. Such students may register only after theirgrades have been posted and their departmentalchecklist clearance form has been approved by thedean.

Removal from ProbationStudents are removed from academic probation whenthey complete 12 credit hours of consecutiveenrollment with a minimum grade point average of2.0, provided their overall grade point average is alsoat or above 2.0.

Academic DismissalFull-time students may be dismissed when they fail toattain a 2.0 semester grade point average in any twoconsecutive semesters or when their cumulativesemester index has remained below 2.0 (C) for any

two consecutive semesters. Part-time students may bedismissed when their cumulative semester index orgrade point average for the last 18 credit hours ofconsecutive enrollment is below 2.0 (C).

ReadmissionA student who has been dropped due to scholasticdeficiency may petition the Faculty Committee onReadmission for readmission. If readmitted, thestudent will be placed on probation. Students maycontact the particular department for specific rulesand regulations.

Acceptance of GradeReplacement,Forgiveness,Repeating CoursesRepeated Courses (GradeReplacement Policy)Students enrolled in the School of Engineering andTechnology are permitted to apply only the provisionsof the IUPUI Grade Replacement Policy that pertain torepeating a course in order to achieve a highergrade. This replacement will affect a student’sacademic record only at the Purdue School ofEngineering and Technology at IUPUI. If the studentsubsequently transfers to another academic unit atIUPUI or another campus, different interpretations ofthe grade replacement policy may be in place.

An undergraduate student who retakes any coursemay elect to have only the final grade counted incomputation of the cumulative semester index, inaccordance with the limitations listed below. Afterretaking the course, the enrollment and originalgrade will be removed from calculations used todetermine the student’s cumulative GPA. The student’stranscript, however, will continue to show the originalenrollment in the course and all grades earned foreach subsequent enrollment.

This policy is subject to the following limitations:1. Students may exercise the grade replacement

option for no more than 15 credit hours,including any courses in which the former FXoption was used.

2. A grade may be replaced only by another gradefor the same class.

3. A student may exercise the Grade ReplacementPolicy a maximum of two times for a singlecourse.

4. The request to remove a grade from thecumulative GPA calculation by this method isirreversible.

5. The second enrollment for any course covered bythis policy must have occurred during fallsemester 1996 or later.

Students who plan to use the grade replacementoption must inform the engineering and technologyrecorder after they have retaken a course and wish toapply the policy.


Academic RegulationsGrades and Grade ReportsStudents are responsible for completing all requiredwork in each of their courses by the last scheduledclass meeting, unless course assignments have beenproperly cancelled. Students receive a grade in eachcourse in which they are enrolled at the close of thesession. Grades indicate what a student has achievedwith respect to the objectives of the course, andinstructors are required, by action of the FacultySenate, to record the grade a student has earned in acourse. Grades that have been officially recorded willbe changed only in cases of instructor error orsubsequent finding of student academic dishonesty.

Basis of GradesThe School of Engineering and Technology uses agrading system that may include plus and minusgrades as well as straight letter grades for allundergraduate and graduate courses. These gradesand their grade point values are indicated below.1. For credit courses:

A or A+ 4.0A– 3.7B+ 3.3B 3.0B– 2.7C+ 2.3C 2.0C– 1.7D+ 1.3D 1.0D– 0.7F 0.0 (no credit)

2. For credit courses taken under the Pass/Failoption:P: Pass; equivalent to grade A through D– (nograde point value assigned).F: Failure; failure to achieve minimal objectives ofthe course. The student must repeat the coursesatisfactorily in order to obtain credit for it. The Fis factored into the student’s grade point average.

3. For noncredit courses, including thesis research:S: Satisfactory; meets course objectives (no gradepoint value assigned).F: Unsatisfactory; does not meet course objectives(is factored into grade point average).Note that no separate grades are given for courselaboratory sections that have been given separatecourse designations for scheduling purposes.

4. Incomplete, Deferred, or Withdrawal grades forcredit or noncredit courses (no grade point valueassigned):I: Incomplete, no grade; a temporary recordindicating that the work is satisfactory as of theend of the semester but has not been completed.The grade of Incomplete may be assigned onlywhen a student has successfully completed atleast three-fourths of the work in a course andunusual circumstances prevent the student fromcompleting the work within the time limitspreviously set. An instructor may require thestudent to secure the recommendation of thedean that the circumstances warrant a grade ofIncomplete. When an Incomplete is given, theinstructor will specify the academic work to be

completed and may establish a deadline of up toone year. If the student has not completed the required work by the end of the following year,the registrar will automatically change the I to anF.

R: Deferred; a grade given for those coursesthat normally require more than oneacademic session to complete, such asproject, thesis, and research courses. Thegrade indicates that work is in progress andthat the final report has not been submittedfor evaluation.W: Withdrawal; a grade of W is recorded onthe final grade report.

Withdrawing from ClassesDuring the first half of a semester or session, studentsmay officially withdraw from classes without penalty ifthey obtain the approval of their advisor. During thethird quarter of a semester or session, students maywithdraw from classes if they obtain the approval oftheir advisor and the appropriate instructors; duringthe last quarter of the semester, students will beallowed to withdraw from classes only underextenuating circumstances. At that time they mustobtain the approval of the appropriate instructors,their advisor, and the dean, and must also present awritten justification from a doctor, member of theclergy, advisor, or similar person of authority. Thefact that a student merely stops attending a classwill not entitle the student to a grade of W.

Uses of the Pass/Fail OptionTo provide students with the opportunity to broadentheir education with less worry about the grades theymay earn, an alternate grading system, the Pass/Failoption, is permitted for a limited portion of therequired credit hours. The following general rulesare currently applicable; individual departments mayimpose further restrictions. 1. Subject to the regulations of divisions or

departments, students may choose this option inany course that does not already appear on theiracademic record and that they are otherwiseeligible to take for credit with a letter grade.Students may use this option for not more than20 percent of the total credit hours required forgraduation.

2. Students taking a course under this option havethe same obligations as those taking the coursefor credit with a letter grade. When instructorsreport final grades in the course, any student whowould have earned a grade of A through D– willreceive a P, and any student who has not passedwill receive an F. The registrar will note eitherresult on the student’s academic records, but willnot use the course in computing the grade pointaverage unless the student receives an F.

3. This option is not available to students onprobation.

4. This option is available for a maximum of twocourses in any one semester and one courseduring a summer session.

5. Students receiving the grade of Pass in a coursetaken under the Pass/Fail option may not retakethe same course for a letter grade.

6. Courses taken under Pass/Fail option and coursestaken by correspondence may not be used to

fulfill graduation requirements for engineeringstudents. Whether the courses are accepted fortechnology students is up to each majordepartment.

These rules are general or minimum guidelines forthose electing this option. There are certain specificlimitations on registration for the Pass/Fail option.This option may be elected only during continuingstudent registration, late registration, and thedrop/add period at the beginning of a semester orsession. Changes from letter grade to Pass/Fail andvice versa may not be made after the second week ofclasses during the regular semester or after the firstweek of classes during the summer sessions.

Absence from CampusStudents who interrupt their course of study for morethan one calendar year may be required to meet alldepartmental curriculum requirements for theprogram offered at the time of their return.

Scholastic IndexesThe scholarship standing of all undergraduate degreeregular students is determined by two scholasticindexes: the semester index and the graduation index.

Semester IndexThe semester index (semester grade point average) isan average determined by weighting each gradereceived (4.0 for an A, 3.7 for an A–, etc.) during agiven semester and multiplying it by the number ofcredit hours in the course, adding up all the figures,and then dividing the sum by the total number ofcourse credit hours obtained during that semester.Grades of P and S are not included in thecomputation; grades of F are included. Thecumulative semester index is the weighted average ofall courses taken by a student, except those to whichthe FX policy is applied. See “Repeated Courses (FXPolicy)” above in this section of the bulletin.

Graduation IndexThe graduation index (degree grade point average) isthe weighted average of grades in only those coursesthat are used to meet the graduation requirements forthe program in which the student is enrolled. When astudent retakes a course with the advisor’s approvalor later substitutes an equivalent course for onepreviously taken, only the most recent course grade isused by the school in calculating the graduationindex. Since certain courses previously completed bythe student may on occasion be omitted from aprogram of study, the graduation index and thecumulative semester index may differ.

Graduation Index RequirementsFor all bachelor’s degrees in the School ofEngineering and Technology, a minimum graduationindex of 2.0 is required for graduation. Candidatesfor graduation from engineering programs must alsohave an index of 2.0 for all required engineeringcourses.

For the Associate of Science degree, a minimumgraduation index of 1.9 is required for graduation.

Good StandingFor purposes of reports and communications to otherinstitutions and agencies and in the absence of anyfurther qualification of the term, students are


considered in good standing unless they have beendismissed, suspended, or dropped from the universityand have not been readmitted.

UndergraduateEngineering CurriculumAll the undergraduate engineering curricula in thisbulletin are presented as four-year programs. Well-qualified students with excellent high schoolpreparation should be able to complete allrequirements in four years or less. Students with gapsin their high school preparation or those who


participate in the Cooperative Education Programmay require more time to complete their degrees.Other students may adjust their semester credit loadsto maintain employment or for other reasons.Programs can be tailored for part-time and eveningstudents, as classes are scheduled for both day andevening. Part-time and evening students are urged toconsult their advisors to avoid future schedulingproblems.

It is important for students to recognize that someflexibility is provided in each of the curricula to allowfor individual differences in backgrounds andacademic goals. It is the student’s responsibility toconsult with an academic advisor to design aprogram to fit personal needs.

Creative accomplishment in an engineer’s careeroften derives from an education that stresses majorideas and fundamental concepts of engineering ratherthan specific technologies. The engineering curriculaprovide wide experience in the mathematical,physical, and engineering sciences as well as in thesocial sciences and the humanities. In this way thestudent obtains both thorough training in engineeringand a well-rounded education. Such an approachprovides the best preparation for the engineer, whomust envision and develop the technologies of thefuture and deal with scientific advances.

Engineers are responsible for translating the ever-expanding reservoir of scientific knowledge intosystems, devices, and products and for furtherexpanding knowledge. To meet these responsibilities,those who are learning to be engineers must not onlymaster the ideas of others but must also originatenew ideas. Moreover, although engineers dealextensively with facts and scientific fundamentals as amatter of course, they cannot rely on these alone.Engineers inevitably face decisions that cannot bemade on the basis of technical skill, but that requirea broad understanding of human values and behavioras developed by studies in the social sciences andhumanities. They must also be able to accommodatesituations where judgment and wisdom, combinedwith scientific knowledge or technical skill, canprovide a solution.

Bachelor of Science inBiomedical EngineeringBiomedical engineering is a discipline that advancesknowledge in engineering, biology, and medicine, andimproves human health through cross-disciplinaryactivities that integrate the engineering sciences withthe biomedical sciences and clinical practice.Biomedical engineering is a vibrant and rapidlyexpanding field both in content and opportunities.As our technological infrastructure expands and ourfundamental knowledge in the life sciences is now atthe basic molecular level, biomedical engineers arepoised to continue to make major advances.

The bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering(B.S.B.M.E.) integrates the engineering analysis anddesign skills of the Purdue School of Engineering andTechnology with the life sciences offered through thePurdue School of Science and with significantmedical/clinical elements available throughcollaboration with the Indiana University School ofMedicine.

The B.S.B.M.E. degree program combines a strongset of mathematics, science, and biomedicalengineering courses into a demanding and rewardingfour-year degree program aimed at solvingcontemporary problems in the life and healthsciences. Outstanding features include instructionalobjectives that integrate the study of the fundamentalprinciples of life and health sciences with rigorousengineering disciplines through a core ofinterdisciplinary courses that include biomechanics,biomeasurements, biomaterials, computationalbiology, and biosignals and systems analysis, amongothers. Many of the courses involve laboratory andproblem solving recitation sections that lead thestudent through a practical encounter with methodsof engineering analysis aimed at understanding andsolving problems related to human health care anddelivery. The Senior Design Experience is a two-semester sequence where a team approach is used tosolve problems originating from the laboratories offaculty across the Schools of Engineering, Science,Dentistry, and Medicine. This approach will developstrong team-working skills among the students andenhance their communication skills withprofessionals outside of their discipline.

The senior year electives enable the student to pursuecourse content that develops a depth ofunderstanding in a number of biomedicalengineering expertise areas such as tissueengineering, biomolecular engineering, imaging,bioelectric phenomena, biomechanics, andregenerative biology. Students interested pursuingcareers in medicine or dentistry may also use theirelectives to fulfill these respective preprofessionalrequirements. Highly motivated students with strongacademic credentials will find biomedical engineeringan excellent premedical or predental degreeprogram.

This exciting and innovative curriculum forms thebasis of our program vision, whereby our studentswill be well educated in modern biomedicalengineering, and with this knowledge they will beprepared to develop new devices, technologies, and


methodologies that lead to significant improvementsin human health care and delivery. The BiomedicalEngineering Web site (www.engr.iupui.edu/bme/) hasthe most up-to-date information concerning the planof study for the B.S.B.M.E. degree program.

Transfer Students Transfer students are initiallyadmitted to the Freshman Engineering Program.Subsequent transfer into the Department ofBiomedical Engineering is permitted only afterconsultation with a Biomedical Engineering Advisorto ensure course equivalencies and to evaluate thestudent’s overall academic achievement.

Admission into Biomedical EngineeringFreshman engineering students who declare abiomedical engineering major must apply to theDepartment of Biomedical Engineering for formaladmission by April 1 of their first year. Acceptanceinto the department is competitive and is based onacademic qualifications, advisor’s recommendation,and available space.

Technology ProgramsThe School of Engineering and Technology offers a variety of technology programsat the associate and bachelor’s degree levels. Programs for full-time studentspursuing these technology departments are presented in this section. Although theschool sets the normal length of time needed to complete each degree program,the required time may vary for individual students. For example, well-qualifiedstudents with excellent high school preparation may complete a program in lessthan the length of time indicated. Other students who decide to combinecooperative (co-op) education or internships with their course work may takemore time to complete all degree requirements. Students may adjust their courseloads for job or personal reasons, and plans of study can be tailored to meet theneeds of part-time and evening students. Needing to study over a longer timeshould be no obstacle to completing the program successfully.

Associate of ScienceScience and technology activities range from the applied and practical to the highlytheoretical and abstract. At one extreme are the theoretical scientists; at the otherare the mechanics, draftspersons, and service personnel. Within this spectrum,educational backgrounds include doctoral degrees, master’s degrees, bachelor’sdegrees, and associate degrees at the university level, as well as certificates anddiplomas from other postsecondary educational and training institutions.

The Associate of Science degree offered in the School of Engineering andTechnology at IUPUI is awarded upon successful completion of two years ofuniversity-level study in applied science. Graduates of these programs are calledtechnicians.

Technicians’ jobs require applying technical knowledge and skills and, normally,the manipulative skills necessary to perform technical tasks. Technicians haveconsiderable knowledge of the materials and processes involved and are equippedwith the ability to apply the principles of physical and biological sciences, generallyusing instruments rather than tools. Their job contribution is mainly throughmental activity, combined with applied skills. In many organizations the techniciancan move up in the organization to higher levels of responsibility, if he or she iscapable and is willing to pursue further education.

The following associate degree programs are offered by the School of Engineeringand Technology at IUPUI:

Department ofOrganizationalLeadership andSupervision (OLS)Associate Professors Goodwin (Chair), HundleyAssistant Professors Feldhaus, FoxLecturer Wolter

This program offers a broadbased education forthose students who desire leadership roles inbusiness, government, or industry. A guiding vision ofthe department is to close the gap between theoryand practice.

Associate of Science (A.S.) and Bachelor of Science(B.S.) degrees are available. Specialized Certificates inHuman Resource Management, Certificate inInternational Leadership, and Certificate in LeadershipStudies are available. The Certificate in LeadershipStudies is only available to non–OrganizationalLeadership and Supervision majors.

The degree programs are flexible to meet the needsof both traditional and nontraditional students. Aspart of a relevant and practical discipline, ourprograms integrate a series of core courses with achoice of concentration tracks. The core coursesoffer a strong foundation in leadership,communication and general education, mathematics,and science. Concentration tracks allow students todevelop their interests and talents within a particulartechnical field. Students will select courses from thefollowing technical concentration areas:Computer and Information Technology (CIT)Computer Integrated Manufacturing Technology

(CIMT)Construction Technology (CNT)Electrical Engineering Technology (ECET)Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET)InterdisciplinaryAllied HealthBusinessInformaticsNursingSchool of Public and Environmental Affairs (SPEA)

Course work for the A.S. degree provides a solidfoundation for students who wish to enhance theiremployment opportunities or pursue more advanceddegrees. The work is balanced enough to include thestudy of mathematics and science, as well as study oftechnology related to the student’s intended career,general education, and supervisory leadership.Students develop abilities that can help them becomeeffective contributors early in their employment.

The B.S. degree increases the range and depth of thestudent’s education in technical and leadership areas.Graduates are prepared to assume leadershippositions in a variety of organizational functions aswell as to pursue graduate degrees. The degreerequirements are arranged in seven areas of study:leadership and supervision, mathematics and science,communication, behavioral science, social scienceand humanities, related technology, and electives.

Students working toward their B.S. degrees may earncertificates in specialty areas in technology and inOLS. For example, by taking a combination oforganizational leadership and supervision (OLS)courses, students may earn a certificate in HumanResource Management. Academic advisors will assistthe student in selecting courses needed to meet therequirements in the concentration area.

The Department of Organizational Leadership andSupervision agrees to accept credit hours earned atIvy Tech and Vincennes University in their Associate inScience and Associate in Applied Science programs.Where applicable these credit hours will bedistributed to satisfy the requirements for theAssociate of Science and Bachelor of Science degreeprograms in OLS.
