IpX - Institute for Process Excellence

Purdue weaves CM2 and PLM into engineering technology so students learn to manage change, trust data, and reduce waste before their first job. We share classroom-to-club examples, why process beats tools, and how model-based practices build career-ready systems thinkers.

• integrating CM2 with PLM across the curriculum
• shifting from tool-centric habits to process discipline
• design intent and model as the authority
• internships and clubs revealing real-world gaps
• formal change control to cut rework and waste
• building systems thinking and traceability
• process over tools and culture’s role in adoption
• preparing graduates for strategic impact on day one
