Engineering Technology Management, Bachelor of Science (B.S.)
Graduates of the Engineering Technology Management program are prepared for many professional roles in technology-related businesses. These roles offer many opportunities to pursue exciting, challenging and rewarding careers that require technical knowledge and managerial skills. The B.S.-Engineering Technology Management program prepares individuals for entry-level positions that include manufacturing engineer, production engineer, industrial supervisor, industrial engineer, industrial technician, and quality engineer.
Engineering Technology Management graduates will be able to relate terminology, techniques and methodology to technical managerial concepts; demonstrate the ability to formulate and apply technical problem-solving and managerial concepts; and apply the concepts of mathematics and the physical sciences to solve technical problems. The B.S.-Engineering Technology Management program is accredited by the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE).
