The Industrial Technology program prepares graduates for careers in a broad variety of industries including aerospace, communication, manufacturing, transportation and utility services. The three areas of course concentration are manufacturing processes and automation, sustainable (green)power and transportation and one that leads to a minor in operations and supply chain management. Instruction includes laboratory experiences with a project design centered approach. Graduates of programs in industrial technology are called ''technologists'' to distinguish them from graduates of programs in engineering. Technologists apply management theory and practice with technical skills to solve problems.
