Computer integrated manufacturing technology (CIMT) integrates all functions in manufacturing organizations and helps increase productivity, production efficiency, and profitability.

This program prepares students for a high-tech manufacturing environment. Graduates will be ready for positions in computer aided design, computer numerical control, tool design, CAD/CAM, process planning, and quality control.

Successful completion of the program qualifies students for acceptance into the Bachelor of Science program in computer integrated manufacturing technology. Upon completion, students may also elect to pursue the Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology without loss of credit. Graduates of the A.S. degree program in computer integrated manufacturing technology are eligible for certification as manufacturing technologists. Co-op work programs with industry may be available to students.

Bachelor of Science—Computer Integrated Manufacturing Technology

Accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, Inc. (ABET)

This program prepares graduates to take their new skills in computer integrated manufacturing technology into traditional or fully integrated manufacturing environments. Typical areas of employment are traditional and nontraditional manufacturing processes, advanced manufacturing planning, CAD/CAM, robotics, production control, statistical quality control, process automation, computer integrated manufacturing, and manufacturing management.

IUPUI graduates with an A.S. in Computer Integrated Manufacturing Technology or Mechanical Engineering Technology are eligible for admission to the following two-year add-on curriculum leading to a Bachelor of Science degree.

Mechanical Engineering Technology (MET) concerns the generation, transmission, and utilization of mechanical and fluid energy, as well as the design and production of tools, machines, and their products. This program prepares specialists in developing machines and products, in production processes, in installing and maintaining machines, and in solving repetitive engineering problems.

Graduates of this program are prepared to work as laboratory technicians, engineering aides, plant maintenance supervisors, layout designers, production assistants, and technical personnel. With additional experience, graduates may be promoted to such positions as industrial supervisor, machine and tool designer, technical buyer, production expeditor, and cost estimator.

Graduates of the A.S. degree program in mechanical engineering technology are eligible for certification as associate engineering technologists. In addition, successful completion of this program automatically qualifies a student for acceptance into the program leading to a Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering Technology. Co-op work programs with industry may be available to students.

This program is designed to satisfy a specific need of industry. Building on the A.S. background, selected practical and applied courses give students additional communicative and supervisory skills, interdisciplinary technical understanding, and greater expertise in their major area.

Graduates of the two-year A.S. degree program are eligible for admission to this two-year add-on curriculum leading to a B.S. degree.

The Associate of Science in Technical Graphics program will prepare students for lifelong opportunities as leaders in their field. The program is constantly adding new technologies to prepare students with current and relevant educational experience in applied computer graphics. Students who complete the associate degree are eligible to continue their education toward a Bachelor of Science degree in other IUPUI programs.
