Eugenia Fernandez
Chair of the Department of Computer Information and Leadership Technology, IUPUI
Welcome to the Department of Computer Information and Leadership Technology (CILT). Housed within CILT, you will find degree and certificate programs in Computer and Information Technology (CIT), Organizational Leadership and Supervision (OLS), and three graduate tracks offered through the School of Engineering and Technology’s Master of Science in Technology degree.
Our department partners two dynamic programs, bringing together talented faculty who continue to develop new partnerships to create innovative and creative opportunities for teaching and learning both on and off campus. CIT’s Living Lab, STEM Mentors, Go Green, and To Mexico with Love programs all serve as powerful tools for experiential learning for our students, and are exemplars of IUPUI’s RISE to the Challenge Initiative.
The collective work of our diverse faculty over the past year, has lead to the creation of two new undergraduate curricula for CIT and OLS students and a new opportunity for students who already have a bachelor’s degree to earn a Master of Science in Technology with either a Engineering Technology Education or Computer Education track.
Currently, the CIT degree program is in the process of seeking ABET, Inc. accreditation, a process involving voluntary review to ensure the CIT program meets established quality standards. By participating in ABET, Inc. accreditation, we focus on continuous quality improvement, a hallmark of all successful organizations.
As a CILT student, graduate, or industrial partner; you are an integral part of tomorrow’s computer information technology industry or leadership community. Technical skills and professional leadership competencies continue to make our graduates distinctive, unique, and highly marketable in meeting the needs of employer today. All industries seek strong, effective, and mature leaders with the technological knowledge to compete in a global workforce. CILT programs will be the resource of choice to meet that need and each of you will benefit from the synergy created in our department.
On behalf of the CIT faculty and staff, I welcome you to our website. Explore, learn, and feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about our undergraduate or graduate opportunities.
I am proud to lead the faculty of CILT and hope that you will become part of our journey through computer information technology, and leadership.
Sincerely,
Eugenia Fernandez
