Interdisciplinary engineering provides an opportunity for students whose interests and talents, while oriented toward engineering and science, do not coincide with the plans of study of traditional engineering disciplines. Interdisciplinary engineering does not have a designated professional curriculum, but it is constituted to accommodate a degree objective with broad flexibility and opportunity for interdisciplinary studies. Students cooperate with their faculty advisors to develop a personalized plan of study leading to the Bachelor of Science in Engineering (B.S.E.) degree with interdisciplinary engineering identified as the major field of study.

Engineering Management is an interdisciplinary engineering track. The program provides a solid background in both engineering and management. To complete the graduation requirements, students take courses in electrical, industrial, and mechanical engineering, as well as accounting, business law, economics, finance, marketing, and management.

This degree is accredited by the Engineering Accreditation Commission ABET (Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology).

The lessons students learn in classes and laboratories receive the ultimate test through the cooperative education and internship programs offered by the university. Through these internships students will meet and interact with business leaders from leading companies in south central Indiana.

This program prepares students to begin careers that may lead to administrative or management positions in technological, engineering, or manufacturing operations. The program also prepares students for careers in large nontechnological organizations such as financial institutions, which may require skills generally associated with both engineering and business.

Admission as a beginning student into the Purdue engineering program at IUPUC is determined by 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 information provided by your high school counselor.

Students not admitted directly to engineering may enter IUPUC through University College while they work toward their goals and meet the requirements for admission to engineering.
