Quality Assurance Certificate Program
Developed in conjunction with the Northeast Indiana Section of the American Society for Quality Control, this certificate program provides training and instruction in the use of measuring instruments and techniques of statistical quality control. The course work provides a basis for putting these techniques to work in the quality control system of an industrial organization. The program includes an investigation of the concept of quality control and the impact of quality costs, determination of customer needs, and follow-up on field performance and feedback. A certificate will be presented to those who successfully complete all course work and the transcript noted.
A total of 20 credit hours and cumulative grade point average of 2.0 on a 4.0 scale is required to receive the certificate.
All students must complete the following courses:
The courses are listed in the order in which they should be taken.

Motorsports Engineering Program (MSTE)
Associate Professor P. Hylton (Program Director)
Lecturer A. Borme
IUPUI is the first University in the United States to offer a bachelor's degree in motorsports engineering
The motorsports industry is growing and expected to continue to grow at a rapid pace. By most accounts, Indiana, North Carolina, and England are recognized as the three leading local motorsports economies. Indianapolis, while generally known as the home of open-wheel racing has a broad appeal. It is also known for sprint cars, midgets, karting, NHRA, and many other forms of racing. It is estimated that there are over 400 motorsports-related firms in the Indianapolis region including companies that produce engines, brakes, shocks, springs, and other racing products.
Bachelor of Science in Motorsports Engineering
This 4-year Bachelor of Science of Degree in Motorsports Engineering degree program was just approved in May, 2008. This program, which aims to prepare graduates for careers in the motorsports industry, as well as automotive-related companies, will focus on teaching fundamentals of engineering and will include hands-on projects that involve designing, analyzing, and building of actual systems.
