Program Descriptions
Industrial Technology: Ivy Tech’s INDT program provides high quality training and instruction which allows for the development of skills in the area of Industrial Technology. From welding classes, electrical classes, to learning about fluid power systems, the hands-on objectives in this program produces graduates qualified to enter the workforce. Ivy Tech uses current and emerging technologies for training purposes. Our business and industrial partners help develop the curriculum to meet the demands of the ever-changing work environment.
Advanced Automation & Robotics: The AART program offers technology students opportunities to develop and master a wide variety of skills in areas such as: robotic and automation system installation and troubleshooting, preventative and predictive maintenance, PLC and robotic programming, component identification and modification, and continuous system improvement.
AART/INDT overview:
The Advanced Automation and Robotics (AART) and Industrial Technology (INDT) programs at Ivy Tech offer hands-on learning coupled with interactive training using state of the art equipment and the latest technologies. Classes are taught by knowledgeable faculty who have experience and knowledge in world-class manufacturing and who are motivated to ensure that the Ivy Tech student experience is the very best.
Students have the opportunity to diversify their educational experiences and skill sets through a variety of course offerings all under one roof at the school of technology. In addition, our technical math and communication courses were developed especially for technical students; no more theory based courses with limited applications to the trades and industry.
Ivy Tech works with many business and industrial partners to offer students work-based learning and internship experiences. Course scheduling is designed to accommodate working students with flexibility for day or night classes. Students earn “stackable” degrees as they progress through the coursework, with multiple opportunities to earn industry recognized certifications which are embedded into the classes.
Our Graduates:
AART program: Graduates of the AART program will be able to work as an automated equipment technicians, robotic programmers and/or technicians, and other associated careers in almost any industry. Students earn several certifications that make them potentially valuable to employers including: the Manufacturing Skills Standards Council (MSSC) Certified Production Technician (CPT) credential, the OSHA 10 Certification and the Siemens Level 1 certification.
INDT program: Graduates of the INDT program have multiple opportunities for entering directly into a career, making a career change or for hastening career advancement. Some of our students choose transfer to four-year institutions. Possible careers for graduates include Maintenance technicians, electricians, PLC programmers, welders and fabricators, and production/quality managers.
