Preparing leaders who can work across functional boundaries, departments, and cultures requires collaboration in industry and in academia. Shaping majors relevant to industry demands often requires the combining of critical disciplines like business and engineering.
Krannert's new undergraduate major in Integrated Business and Engineering (IBE) is one example of the school's commitment to evolving and transforming with industry. Created in partnership with Purdue's College of Engineering, students in this cohort-based program take first-year engineering courses followed by a combination of management and engineering classes.
Students participate in a year-long Engineering Projects in Community Service (EPICS) course, creating engineered solutions for developing countries and work in research labs across campus on emerging technologies. In the Data Mine, students live, learn, and research in a community created to introduce them to data science concepts and create solutions to real-world problems.
Learn how our IBE degree allows students to diversify their skill set by merging technical skills and business acumen.
