The fundamental mission of the College of Engineering is to provide the individual student with an educational foundation broad enough to support a lifetime of learning and specific enough to provide the necessary skills for a successful entry into professional life or graduate study in engineering and/or computer science.

The engineer of the future must function in a global marketplace driven by technology and ruled by open competition. The College of Engineering recognizes that its fundamental obligation is to provide an engineering education rooted in solid fundamental knowledge and structured around up-to-date technical skills. However, it must also provide undergraduate students with a liberal and humanistic education to help them acquire an understanding of society and their cultural heritage;
it must provide them with a breadth of knowledge and sensitivity to weigh ethical and moral issues and form values and life goals.

The college offers baccalaureate degrees in six academic areas: biomedical engineering, computer engineering, electrical engineering, energy engineering, mechanical engineering and industrial and manufacturing engineering. Students in each program are provided with a solid foundation in the basic sciences and mathematics. In order to furnish breadth to the technical education of the students, supporting courses in communications, humanities and social sciences are included in all the engineering and computer science programs. The use of computers is emphasized throughout all the academic offerings.

The college encourages lifelong learning among the faculty as a means of supporting the teaching commitments of the university. The engineering faculty members at Indiana Tech are particularly dedicated to the educational process, in which teaching is of primary importance. All courses in the college are taught by experienced and professional faculty, some of whom are local practicing engineers.
