The Program
The College of Technology offers the Master of Industrial Technology (M.I.T.) which is designed for individuals interested
in manufacturing technology or construction management and technology.
The manufacturing technology specialization includes study of advanced level automation and production systems, instrumentation
and control, engineering design with emphasis on computer-aided design, computer-integrated manufacturing, quality sciences,
and related advanced course work.
The construction management and technology specialization includes study of advanced level construction contract management,
program management, management models for construction operations, cost control, construction risk management, and related
advanced course work.
The Master of Industrial Technology degree is designed to accommodate the needs of students and to respond to the requirements
of industry for advanced technical and managerial personnel. The program is based on the need to effectively integrate technology
and business operations created by advanced technology tools, new materials, computer graphics, and manufacturing and construction
practices. The program addresses requirements for quality and better product and system design. It also addresses the need
for increased productivity, conservation of energy, and resources. The design of advanced course work is dictated by the effect
of these changes on leadership functions of technical managers.
The Master of Industrial Technology provides opportunities for students to engage in applied technical research. The outcomes
of such activity add to the knowledge of relevant practice or solve immediate problems which arise in the work place.
PREREQUISITES FOR GRADUATE WORK:
The program is designed to serve graduates of recognized bachelor's degree programs in industrial technology and engineering
technology, as well as graduates of other degree programs who wish to undertake professional studies in technology.
Applicants must have the appropriate distribution of undergraduate course work. Minimally, this includes 20 semester hours
in a relevant technology or engineering field, 12 semester hours in business operations, and 15 semester hours of other courses
including applied calculus, physics or chemistry, applied statistics, and computer science.
