General Information
Purdue Polytechnic Institute, in partnership with Indiana University Southeast, offers four bachelor’s degree programs at the Purdue Technology Center on Charlestown Road in New Albany. Purdue University bachelor’s degrees can be earned in four majors: Computer Graphics Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, and Organizational Leadership and Supervision. All required coursework for these Purdue degrees can be completed in New Albany at the Purdue Technology Center and Indiana University Southeast.
These Purdue degree programs prepare engineering technologists and specialists who enter the workforce with significant hands-on experience, effective communication skills, and problem-solving abilities.
The program of instruction draws upon some of the technical theory requirements of the engineering profession but contains more courses in technical applications. Many of the courses involve laboratory work.
Principles and fundamentals emphasize applied engineering rather than theoretical engineering approaches in the use of rational processes in finding solutions to problems in industry.
The course material falls between the skilled crafts and engineering science, touching on both of these levels. The curriculum contains both practical and theory-oriented courses.
Purdue University diplomas are awarded, and Purdue University transcripts issued, with Bachelor of Science degrees in Computer Graphics Technology, Electrical Engineering Technology, Mechanical Engineering Technology, and Organizational Leadership and Supervision.
