The Technology curricula reflect contemporary industrial issues, technological innovations and scientific breakthroughs. The Department of Aviation and Technology offers two undergraduate programs (accredited by the National Association of Industrial Technology): Industrial Technology with concentration in Electronics and Computer Technology, and Industrial Technology with concentration in Manufacturing Systems. The department also offers preparation for the teaching credential in Industrial Technology Education. Minors are also available. The curricula have as a common purpose the applied exploration of the industrial environment to prepare students for technical and managerial positions in industry or to meet the requirements for the teaching/training profession in public schools or industry.
The two Industrial Technology programs are designed to provide students with an opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience in basic and advanced industrial processes and procedures. In each of the two areas of concentration, students will:
- Develop in-depth technical skills in either manufacturing or electronics and computer technology.
- Demonstrate strong communication, critical thinking and interpersonal skills.
- Apply a knowledge of current programming languages to industrial problems .
- Use skills in team development, dynamics, and management to work as team players.
- Demonstrate ethical behavior and concern for colleagues, society, and the environment.
- Develop familiarity and skills in the organization and management of industrial enterprises.
- Learn about product life cycle and how products are manufactured.
- Learn to apply knowledge to the planning and management of industrial and service sector operations.
- Demonstrate leadership skills for a technology professional.
