Industrial Engineering Technology -- Areas of Concentration

The B.S. is designed to provide students with a broad-based education and the opportunity to create a specialized program by following one of the options or by selecting technical courses to fill an individual interest or career plan. The concentrations are:

Manufacturing Engineering Technology - This concentration covers manufacturing and industrial processes in industry. Coursework includes: process planning, cost estimating, machining processes, metal working processes, laser applications, CAD/CAM, safety and environment impact and design for manufacturing.

Quality Assurance Technology - In addition to manufacturing core coursework, this concentration offers intensive training in SPC, ISO9000, ISO14000, TQM, quality improvement, concurrent engineering, and reliability for design & production.

Industrial Engineering Technology - This concentration concentrates on the traditional industrial engineering technology courses. Coursework is offered in such areas as engineering economics, plant layout, operations research, simulation and optimization, manufacturing control, network scheduling, method study, industrial safety, and industrial administration.

Computer-Aided Design/Computer-Aided Manufacturing/Robotics - In this concentration, the use of microcomputers in manufacturing is explored. Coursework includes: integrated and flexible manufacturing systems, group technology, process control, computer-assisted numerical control programming and operation, computer-aided manufacturing.
