Industrial Technology Degree Program
Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology
Major code BS7256
Industrial technology is the study of materials, production processes, and management procedures used in manufacturing products. This degree program prepares you for a technical/management position in the manufacturing industry by providing current and relevant subject matter and experience. Typically, an industrial technology graduate is responsible for management and supervision of industrial materials, machines, personnel, and capital in areas of production, process planning, maintenance, and quality assurance.The industrial technology program prepares you to be a technical generalist: one who is competent in a wide range of technical subjects. In addition, since most industrial technology courses are hands-on lab courses, you graduate with practical experience. All students in the program complete a common core of industrial technology courses. In addition, you must take courses in one of two technical areas�materials and processes (M&P) or manufacturing information technology (MIT), depending on your interests and career goals. The degree includes a minor in business.
There are four components to the curriculum: technical courses, general education, business, and electives. Each component contributes a valuable part to your overall preparation for employment.
A minimum of 194 quarter hours is required for graduation, including the following specific requirements:
