B.S. Industrial Technology
The Industrial Technology program offers essential education for students pursuing careers in technology development and implementation. This multidisciplinary program emphasizes the learning and application of technological theories and problem solving while providing experiential learning opportunities. The innovative BSIT undergraduate program provides opportunities for students to create and design technical systems to solve a variety of realistic problems, and apply theories and practices to meet technological needs. BSIT graduates also demonstrate leadership by recognizing potential opportunities and working collaboratively to coordinate team effort toward the successful execution of technology-related projects. In addition to the education of industrial generalists, students may also focus their studies in one of the three following technology areas: Electronic Technologies, Technical Design, and Manufacturing Technologies.
Graduates of Industrial Technology may serve as liaisons between business administration, policy makers, and engineering research and development. Industrial Technology graduates report a diverse range of job opportunities in various public service and private industry settings with an excellent measure of job satisfaction. Typical job titles include manufacturing engineer, quality engineer, instrumentation control engineer, electronic control specialist, production supervisor, process planner, project manager, industrial sales representative, maintenance supervisor, and cost estimator.
