About Us:
When you join Purdue University, you join a community that keeps moving forward. For more than 150 years, we’ve been known for not only our groundbreaking work in STEM research, but also for our collective imagination, ingenuity and innovation.
The clarion call for action to renew the nation’s leadership in advanced manufacturing created a once in a generation opportunity for the State of Indiana and three key academic institutions, Purdue, Ivy Tech, and Vincennes University to partner in providing a world-class resource to attract, retain, and grow high-value manufacturing industries in the state. Purdue, Ivy Tech, and Vincennes proposed a unique collaboration of educational institutions; leading companies (both local and national); small and medium manufacturers (SMEs); and the State to realize the potential of next-generation manufacturing.
The Indiana Manufacturing Competitiveness (IN-MaC) Center was launched, to bring industry, government, and academia together to advance the state of practice through the digital transformation of manufacturing. We accomplish this every day by creating better understanding of next-generation methods and tools through technology adoption and demonstration and increasing awareness in the talent pipeline through manufacturing education and workforce development. As a constituent center in the School of Engineering Technology in the Polytechnic College, IN-MaC accomplishes this effort through three key areas: 1) education and workforce development to transform today’s manufacturing operations employees and to build the talent pipeline; technology adoption and demonstration to enhance competitiveness of Indiana manufacturing companies by supporting implementation and integration of technology and methods; and 3) manufacturing research and prototyping services via the intelligent manufacturing testbed. https://polytechnic.purdue.edu/in-mac
