About the Program
The Smart Manufacturing Industrial Informatics (SMII) major features the holistic integration of the digital transformation technologies and capabilities of Industry 4.0. It introduces students to topics in Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), cyber-physical systems, manufacturing intelligence/analytics, cloud/edge computing, augmented reality, simulation, autonomous and human robot interactions, additive manufacturing, and industrial cybersecurity, all presented in the context of smart manufacturing applications. Central to this new curriculum is the integration of physical operational technologies with the information technologies to implement data driven production systems and processes using artificial intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) techniques. Courses in the program will be aligned with the digitalization strategies of Industry 4.0, particularly with the systemic utilization of IIoT, data, AI/ML, and Cloud/Edge computing for optimizing production processes, improve productivity, quality, and efficiency of cyber-physical manufacturing operations in a smart connected enterprise. The Smart Manufacturing Industrial Informatics major is part of the Manufacturing Engineering Technology program. The manufacturing engineering technology program is accredited by the Engineering Technology Accreditation Commission of ABET, https://www.abet.org, under the commission’s general criteria and program criteria for Manufacturing Engineering Technology and similarly named programs.

Civics Literacy Proficiency Requirement
The Civics Literacy Proficiency activities are designed to develop civic knowledge of Purdue students in an effort to graduate a more informed citizenry. For more information visit the Civics Literacy Proficiency website. To obtain the Civics Literacy Proficiency, students will complete an educational activity as part of their chosen Civics Literacy Pathway and pass the Purdue Civics knowledge test. The knowledge test can be completed at any time while the pathway is being perused. There are three different pathways: - Civics Event pathway - Attend six approved civics-related events and pass the required exam; or
- Civics Literacy Podcast pathway - Complete 12 podcasts created by the Purdue Center for C-SPAN Scholarship & Engagement that use C-SPAN material and pass the required exam; or
- Approved course pathway - Complete one of the following approved courses and pass the required exam.
More details about each pathway and how to complete the requirement can be found on the Civics Literacy Student Dashboard in myPurdue. Upper Level Requirement
- Resident study at Purdue University for at least two semesters and the enrollment in and completion of at least 32 semester hours of coursework required and approved for the completion of the degree. These courses are expected to be at least junior-level (30000+) courses.
- Students should be able to fulfill most, if not all, of these credits within their major requirements; there should be a clear pathway for students to complete any credits not completed within their major.
Additional Information
- + denotes Cornerstone Certificate course option.
Critical Course
The ♦ course is considered critical. In alignment with the Degree Map Guidance for Indiana’s Public Colleges and Universities, published by the Commission for Higher Education (pursuant to HEA 1348-2013), a Critical Course is identified as “one that a student must be able to pass to persist and succeed in a particular major. Students who want to be nurses, for example, should know that they are expected to be proficient in courses like biology in order to be successful. These would be identified by the institutions for each degree program.” Disclaimer
The student is ultimately responsible for knowing and completing all degree requirements. Consultation with an advisor may result in an altered plan customized for an individual student. The myPurduePlan powered by DegreeWorks is the knowledge source for specific requirements and completion. Comparative information about Purdue University and other U.S. educational institutions is also available through the College Navigator tool, provided by the National Center for Education Statistics, and through the U.S. Department of Education College Scorecard. Professional Experience
The SOET Professional Experience requirement is intended to document those experiences which help expose SOET students to the expectations of their professional prior to graduation. This may occur through industrial experience, technical or administrative involvement with community service, military service, et cetera. Approval has been granted for the following experiences. Additional experiences may also satisfy this graduation requirement. Requests for approval should be submitted to the SOET Curriculum Subcommittee Chair for consideration, allowing at least four academic weeks for review and response. See supplemental information for approved experiences.
