"The Engineering Technology Pathways: Food and Foodstuff Supply Chain" project is the first Engineering Technology program in which a community college and major land grant research university offer articulated degrees with a concentration in the food and foodstuff supply chain. Ivy Tech Community College and Purdue University College of Technology recognize that the food and foodstuff supply chain consists of industries that utilize raw material crops in value-added markets such as feed and alternative energy production. The variety of the supply chain is a crucial characteristic to maintaining sustainability in commodities and processing industries. With this project, high school graduates have the opportunity to begin their education in this field by earning an Associate of Science degree in Engineering Technology (A.S.E.T.) at Ivy Tech Community College and then seamlessly transfer credits to Purdue University in order to earn a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering Technology (B.S.E.T.) at Purdue's College of Technology Statewide. This innovative educational pathway is preparing a technical workforce to address the challenges facing both producers and manufacturers in the food and foodstuff industry, which has an expanding but largely unfilled need. Through this collaborative approach, Ivy Tech and Purdue students benefit from a Web-compatible curriculum that encompasses the trans-disciplinary nature of the food and foodstuff industry, incorporating fields such as technological innovation, mechanical engineering technology, electrical engineering technology, food studies, and communication.

“工程技术途径：食品和食品供应链”项目是第一个工程技术计划，其中社区学院和主要的土地赠款研究型大学提供了在食品和食品供应链集中的衔接度。常春藤科技社区学院和普渡大学技术学院认识到，食品和食品供应链由在饲料和替代能源生产等增值市场中利用原材料作物的行业组成。 供应链的多样性是维持初级商品和加工业可持续性的一个关键特征。 有了这个项目，高中毕业生有机会开始他们在这一领域的教育，获得工程技术（A.S.E.T.）科学学位的副学士学位。在常春藤科技社区学院，然后无缝转移学分到普渡大学，以获得工程技术（B.S.E.T.）理学学士学位在普渡大学技术学院工作 这一创新的教育途径正在培养一支技术人才队伍，以应对食品和食品行业生产者和制造商面临的挑战，该行业的需求不断扩大，但在很大程度上尚未得到满足。 通过这种合作方式，常春藤科技和普渡大学的学生受益于网络兼容的课程，包括食品和食品行业的跨学科性质，包括技术创新，机械工程技术，电气工程技术，食品研究和通信等领域。
