Programs for full-time students pursuing degrees within the departments of Technology are listed on pages 30-68. Programs for full- time students pursuing degrees within the Division of Engineering are listed on pages 70-90. listed are plans of study for students leading to degrees of Associate in Applied Science (Technology only), the degree of Bachelor of Science (Technology and Engineering) and several Master of Science degrees in Engineering.
The curricula, course descriptions, and graduation requirements of each listed plan are those which were in effect at the time of printing.
Course content and curricula, however, gradually evolve, reflecting the changing needs of business, industry, and government. Students are therefore encouraged to obtain the latest course and curriculum information from academic advisors.
Although specific lengths of time are established for each University degree program, the required time may vary for some individual students.
Well-qualified students with excellent high school preparation may, for example, complete a program in less than the length of time noted. Other students who elect to couple cooperative education with their course work may take more time to complete all degree requirements. Students may choose to adjust their semester credit loads in order to maintain employment or for other personal reasons. Programs are tailored for part- time and evening students. Extended time has not proved to be detrimental to the successful completion of a program.
Associate in Applied Science Degree Programs
Science and technology range from applied and practical to highly theoretical and abstract activities. At one extreme are the theoretical scientists; at the other, the mechanics, draftsmen, and service personnel.
Within this broad spectrum, educational backgrounds include doctoral degrees, master's degrees, bachelor's degrees, and associate degrees at the university level, as well as certificates and'diplomas from other post-high- school educational and training institutions.
Frequently the degree level is indicative of the job level. For example, in the medical profession, job titles include physicians (doctor's degree), medical technologists (bachelor's degree), nurses (associate and bachelor's degrees) at the university level as well as the practical nurse, hospital technician, and operating room technician (diploma) offered at other post- high-school educational institutions.
The Associate in Applied Science degree offered at IUPUI in the School of Engineering and Technology is awarded after successful completion of two years of university-level study in an applied scientific field. Graduates of these programs are called technicians.
A technician is an employee whose job requires applied technical knowledge and applied technical skills. Job requirements normally include manipulative skills necessary to perform the technical tasks. In each field
employees have considerable technical knowledge of the materials and processes involved as well as knowing how to apply the principles of physical and biological sciences. In general, they use instruments in contrast with tools. The contribution is mainly through mental effort in conjunction with application of skills. In many organizations the technician is permitted to move vertically in the organization to higher levels of responsibilities, depending upon the individual's capability and willingness to continue an education.
There are 11 two-year day and evening curricula available at IUPUI:

The Bachelor of Science degree is awarded under the "2+2" education plan. A student following this plan earns first an associate degree in two years and then a baccalaureate degree in two more years. In case of transfer students, all departmental regulations must be met.
A student is awarded an Associate in Applied Science degree upon successful completion of the two-year program. The associate degree signifies that the recipient is educated at the technician level and is "job- ready." Thus, individuals may go directly into well-paying jobs, or they may elect to continue their studies.
Students who desire to continue their formal education may be admitted to a two-year "add-on" in the various technology programs.
Students who successfully complete this program are awarded a Bachelor
of Science degree. This provides the background for increased job responsibility. The following programs are available to qualified students.

Admission Requirements
Applicants for admission, except those entering the lED programs, must have earned an associate degree or equivalent in one of the technologies. Transfer students will be admitted according to individual departmental requirements.
Graduation Requirements
A technology student who pursues a Bachelor of Science degree will follow a departmental plan of study which requires approximately 67 semester credit hours beyond the associate degree. Students transferring from other institutions must complete at least 32 semester credit hours of course work in residence in the third and fourth year of the Bachelor of Science degree program.
