IET专业人才受到两个领域的好评，受到企业和行业雇主的强烈追捧：（1）使组件和零件协同工作以创建可运行的自动化系统；（2）带领问题解决团队提高业务流程的生产率和盈利能力。工业工程技术计划使个人准备好运用基本工程原理和技术技能来改善生产和服务环境中的流程。这包括有关过程和生产率改进，生产线运营，库存控制，运营管理，成本和资本项目分析，工厂布局，工作计划，质量系统以及统计质量控制的说明。我们的社会需要技术人员，他们可以运用数学和科学来操作和改进复杂的系统，并操作和管理生产设施来生产复杂的产品。<br> <br
IET majors are highly sought after by business and industry employers as they are good in two arenas: (1) making components and parts work together to create functioning automated systems, and (2) lead problem solving teams to improve productivity and profitability for business processes. The industrial engineering technology program prepares individuals to apply basic engineering principles and technical skills in the improvement of processes in production and service environments. This includes instruction in process and productivity improvement, production line operations, inventory control, operations management, cost and capital project analysis, plant layout, work planning, quality systems, and statistical quality control. Our society needs technologists who can apply math and science to operate and improve complex systems and operate and manage production facilities to produce complex products.<br><br>Students in the program also gain valuable knowledge and experience in the establishment of systems, systems analysis, electronics and instrumentation, computer-aided design and manufacturing, programmable logic controllers, electronics, hydraulic and pneumatic control systems, robotics, and automation. Graduates from this program are hired as industrial engineers/technologists, productivity improvement specialists, process and quality control engineers, and for overall management in manufacturing and service industries. The program employs an application-oriented hands-on approach to allow students to learn and practice skills in communications, teamwork, problem solving, management, and leadership. Knowledge of Lean manufacturing, Lean Enterprise and Six-Sigma are also cornerstones of the program. A capstone project is conducted in the final semester by students to validate the concepts learned. After successfully completing the capstone project, many students from the program are offered full-time employment where they have conducted the project.
