Mission

The mission of the Manufacturing Engineering Technology (MFET) degree program at Indiana State University is to prepare graduates with technical and leadership skills necessary for manufacturing competitiveness and to enter careers in manufacturing process and systems design, operations, quality, continuous improvement, lean manufacturing, and sustainability.

Vision

The Manufacturing Engineering Technology degree program will be a leader in integrating teaching, research, and creative activity in an engaging, challenging, and supportive learning environment preparing productive citizens for Indiana and the world while creating and maintaining a credible presence within the manufacturing sector of education and industry.

Program Educational Objectives (PEOs)

Graduates two to three years into their career should have the foundation to:

  • PEO 1 (Technology) - Apply disciplinary reasoning, critical thinking, and hands-on skills to identify, analyze and solve problems.
  • PEO 2 (Communicate) - Communicate effectively in both oral and written form to articulate technical knowledge, ideas, and proposals.
  • PEO 3 (Management and/or Teamwork) - Perform effectively, think independently and work collaboratively in a team environment in a membership or leadership role.

Student Outcomes (SOs)

Students at the time of graduation are prepared to demonstrate:

(1) An ability to apply knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of mathematics, science, engineering, and technology to solve broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.

(2) An ability to design systems, components, or processes meeting specified needs for broadly defined engineering problems appropriate to the discipline.

(3) An ability to apply written, oral, and graphical communication in broadly defined technical and non-technical environments; and an ability to identify and use appropriate technical literature.

(4) An ability to conduct standard tests, measurements, and experiments and to analyze and interpret the results to improve processes.

(5) An ability to function effectively as a member as well as a leader on technical teams.

In addition to the above, graduates will be able to achieve manufacturing competitiveness in:

  • Materials and manufacturing processes;
  • Product design process, tooling, and assembly;
  • Manufacturing systems, automation, and operations;
  • Statistics, quality and continuous improvement; and
  • Industrial organization and management.
