The Department of Industrial Technology offers three programs leading to the bachelor's degree, one in computer-aided design, another in construction management, and the third in manufacturing. All the programs are practically oriented. The applications of computer graphics are becoming more diverse and are found in such areas as architecture, medicine, mapping, facilities management, and government.
Construction management offers both a major and a minor.
It has been developed in cooperation with experts from the construction industry, guidelines established by major construction associations, and reactions of employers and graduates. The manufacturing major offers concentrations in computer-aided manufacturing, manufacturing technology, manufacturing transfer, and plastics. A minor in manufacturing is also possible. Since rapid advances in manufacturing technology and operations have caused the education of most engineers to become increasingly theoretical, the demand for manufacturing professionals with applied technical skills has grown. Graduate study leads to the Master of Science in Industrial Technology, a program intended for managers, production supervisors, and other related industrial personnel.
