Student Life

Part of going to college is to work hard, yet also get involved in student activites and groups. The Department of Industrial Technology sponsors a number of programs and activities that help you meet other students, network with leaders in industry, and meet prospective employers.

There are three different student organizations, PAID, NAIT, and TECA.

PAID - the Professional Association of Industrial Distribution

The Professional Association for Industrial Distribution was first organized in 1995 in order to get students involved in all aspects of Industrial Distribution. The club provides opportunities for leadership roles, as well as to socialize with faculty, staff, leaders in the field and other students.

NAIT - the National Association of Industrial Technology

NAIT is responsible for the promotion of industrial technology in industry, education and government. The group provides an avenue for students, faculty, and industry leaders to meet and network.

TECA - the Technology Education Collegiate Association

TECA is responsible for the professional development of future Engineering/Technology Teacher Educators Nationwide.  The organization provides professional development through both their local Purdue University chapter and Nationwide through the International Technology Education Association by networking at state and International conferences and competing in regional and International competitive problem-solving events.
