Engineering Technology
The Engineering Technology learning community offers a fall semester experience for students to learn and gain experience in computer aided design (CAD) and machining principles.They will receive an introduction to the Bechtel Innovation Design Center, a space that was constructed to assist students in the design and creation of projects relating to their coursework or their own self-directed learning and innovation. It is our hope that this learning community will allow for Engineering Technology students to meet with other majors on campus and gain experience working in a multi-disciplinary setting.
For specific questions regarding the Engineerig Technology LC, please email Susan Hockings (shocking@purdue.edu).
Eligibility
- First-time beginning students admitted to the Purdue Polytechnic Institute with a major in the School of Engineering Technology
Residential Component
- Students will indicate interest in learning communities (LCs) and apply during their housing application process. Students will be informed of the status of their LC application in mid-May.
- Roommate selection will occur after LC decisions have been made. If admitted to an LC, students will need to match with other student(s) admitted to the same LC.
