Curriculum in Industrial Technology

The industrial technology curriculum prepares students for professional positions that emphasize technical management in industry, business, or government.

The Bachelor of Science degree program stresses computer applications, technical management, production processing and product quality.

The curriculum has been designed to assist students to develop a comprehensive understanding of the interaction of people, planning, machines, tools, equipment, safety and production processes, in manufacturing settings. Extensive laboratory experiences are incorporated into most courses. The program seeks to develop problem solving abilities and creativity to assist graduates in meeting technical requirements, human expectations, and regulatory requirements in contemporary manufacturing settings.

Students majoring in industrial technology select one of the two options: manufacturing or occupational safety.

English Proficiency

In order to meet graduation requirements, all students must earn an average of C (2.0) or better in all English courses taken, including Engl 104, Engl 105, and one of the following: Engl 309 or Engl 314.

U.S. Diversity and International Perspectives

In order to meet graduation requirements, all students must complete 3 credits of course work in U.S. Diversity and 3 credits in International Perspectives. Courses that are acceptable for meeting these requirements are listed on the University website.

Total credits required: 120.5 - 123.5
