Technology degree programwas initiated and implemented at Purdue University Northwest in the year 2008. This relativelynew program has graduated over 300 students in a short time, and enrolls over 150 studentsevery semester.Purdue University Northwest, with two campuses in Northwest Indiana, has had ABETaccredited undergraduate Engineering Technology programs since the 70’s, therefore, there wasa large alumni base to start the new Master’s program. The Master’s program begun in 2008 withno additional faculty or administrative resources, and did not have any specific concentration.Currently, the MS degree program has six concentrations in various disciplines withinengineering technology and offers three industry-based graduate certifications.

faculty lead would likely improve the likelihood of success of the project and courses. With the demands of research and other faculty obligations, it may be convenient for a faculty member to become dis-engaged. Similar to the roles of the students, a deliberate definition of this role clarifies the chain of command for both the faculty and students involved.References1. McKenzie, L. J., Trevisan, M.

may be transferred to other universities throughestablished transfer policies.University Faculty Involvement and CommitmentEach dual credit course is delivered with the same level of academic integrity as all other classesat Purdue University. Each course offered must be equivalent to the course taught on campus incontent, assignments, prerequisites, labs, exams, texts used, class size limitations, and otherpossible course requirements. The university identifies a faculty member from the appropriatedepartment to teach the course(s) and work in collaboration with the appropriate high schoolcurriculum coordinator.University faculty use a flipped course delivery model. Lecture and group projects are deliveredon Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday

. Most of these courses include labs, and students are assigned towork on design projects to satisfy the student learning outcomes1.Senior Design Course Overview:MANE students take MANE 461 and 462 (two credit hours each) senior design courses in theirsenior year as a capstone to accomplish all aspects of the design requirements. Depending on thenature of the selected projects, they may be teamed with computer engineering students. Theprinciples of the design and project planning and control processes are taught by the projectscoordinator faculty through the entire life of the projects. Each project advisor faculty advisesone or two teams on designing and prototyping their project(s). Manufacturing students mostlyare assigned to select topics in

know you well. Determine application deadlines for schools where you are interested in applying. Draft application statement(s).Most graduate programs in engineering expect that you will apply 9-12 months in advance of thesemester in which you wish to begin graduate school. Thus, during the fall term of your finalyear of undergraduate studies, you should complete the following tasks: Narrow your list of places to apply; generally 3-8 completed applications is a good goal. Ideally, you will apply to a range of schools (size, location, ranking, etc.) where you can make a strong case that you are a good investment and “fit” for their program. Identify your backup plan – “safety” school, work, volunteering
