Engineering Technology - Industrial
Industrial technology focuses on the management, operation, and maintenance of complex technical systems. The Bachelor of Science in Engineering Technology—Industrial concentration prepares students to solve managerial, technical, and production problems in business, industry, education, and government settings.
Graduates of the program are often employed as production supervisors, quality systems managers, and technical specialists. Others pursue positions in industrial and technical sales, design, and testing.
Concentration Overview
Goals
Graduates will have gained fundamental technical knowledge and also an understanding of the supervisory and management techniques used throughout industry. Technical competence is developed through various laboratory courses in the Department of Engineering Technology, Surveying, and Digital Media, while management skills and knowledge are supplemented through select courses from the ETSU College of Business & Technology Department of Management and Supply Chain.
Industrial Technology graduates develop skills to help solve managerial, technical, and production problems and find numerous employment opportunities in a wide range of industrial settings. Prior to graduation, qualified students may take advantage of numerous local and/or regional Co-op (for ETSU credit) or part time/full time (non-credit) employment opportunities to earn money and gain experience.
