| General
Information |
The program is designed
to meet industry's need for advanced technical
managers, created by a number of technological
improvements, like the rapid infusion of the
microprocessor into all facets of business operations
and production systems; or the emergence of
new materials, improved manufacturing, construction,
and communication processes. Students learn
business and leadership skills along with technical
preparation in a specialized area and are able
to ensure quality, productivity and competitiveness
for their employers.

| |
| Audience |
Most of the students in
the Master of Industrial Technology program
hold a bachelor's degree in Engineering, Industrial
Technology, Engineering Technology, and Applied
Sciences. However, the program has welcomed
students, from many different areas, that have
the desire to advance to professional work through
relevant advanced study and applied research
in technology. The MIT program includes men
and women from different parts of the world,
part-time and full-time students, residents
and commuters. Assistantships may be available.

| Areas
of Specialization |
Construction Management
and Technology
This area of concentration includes advanced
level studies in Construction Contract Management
& Law, Cost Analysis and Control, Program Management,
Quantitative System Analysis, and other related
areas.
Manufacturing
Technology
This area of concentration includes advanced
level studies in Computer Integrated Manufacturing,
Engineering Materials, Instrumentation and Control,
and other related areas.
The
MIT program is further augmented by selected
advanced course work in business operations
to enhance the competencies needed of today's
technical manager. |

| Program's
Requirements |
To
be accepted at the Master of Industrial Technology
program, each applicant must present evidence
of an appropriate academic foundation. Once
in the program, specific courses are selected
by the student in consultation with, and approval
of, the graduate advisor. A minimum of 39 semester
hours is required for graduation. This program
consists of the following four components: (1)
Technology Core, (2) Technology Concentration,
(3) Business Operations, and (4) Synthesis Experience.
Check the
program's flowchart.
1. Technology
Core (9 semester hours)
The technology core consists of course work
in research and development, management models
for technical operations, and organizational
communication.
2. Technology
Concentration (15 semester hours)
This component consists of course work in the
two concentration areas: Construction Management
and Technology, and Manufacturing Technology.
3. Business
Operations (9 semester hours)
The business operations component consists of
statistics and course work selected through
advisement by major advisor and the Director
of Graduate Studies in Business.
4. Synthesis
Experience (6 semester hours)
The synthesis experience is determined based
upon a student's choice of Plan I (thesis)
or Plan II (major project). Problems
for a thesis or major project are encouraged
to be derived from the work place. The nature
of the synthesis experience under each plan
may differ significantly. The thesis develops
the candidate's capability for applied technical
research. In the major project, the student
synthesizes and applies knowledge derived from
the program to solve complex human-machine problems,
or to analyze and develop prototype mechanisms
or systems.
The
Tentative
Degree Program
(TDP) is a written agreement, between the
graduate student and the University, that the
program embarked upon meets the requirements
of the degree. All courses that will be taken
to meet the degree requirements are listed on
the TDP and determined by the student and major
advisor. The TDP is initiated by the student
at the completion of 12 credit hours of study
and must be filed with the Graduate College
before the completion of 15 hours. The TDP becomes
the student's academic plan and the basis for
scheduling courses each term in cooperation
with the major advisor.

| The
Students Point of View |
"One aspect of the MIT program at BGSU
that I truly value is the quality of the faculty
that are available to meet individually on a
regular basis to answer questions and discuss
special projects. This interaction has enhanced
my learning experience in graduate school to
a much greater extent than I ever expected."
