Industrial Engineering Technology
Industrial Engineering Technology concentrates on the latest methods for making businesses more productive and profitable. As American businesses strive to be more competitive in today's global marketplace, it needs professionals who can make their companies work more efficiently and reduce costs.
Why major in Industrial Engineering Technology?
Each of our programs provides you with a variety of focuses in manufacturing and operations technologies. Many graduates within this field of study go on to work in manufacturing settings and in service organizations, such as hospitals, banks, communications companies, consulting firms, and even the federal government.
Those graduates who choose the manufacturing options often work in those same industries much more closely to the machinery used in production operations. Our department takes great pride in arming graduates with the education and experience needed to pursue rewarding, growth-oriented careers.
This area of study might be for you if:
- You enjoy hands-on activities, as well as working with people and technology.
- You often explore how things work and are interested in improving processes.
- You are interested in manufacturing processes and the technical skills and machinery used today.
- You would like to work in or advance in technological manufacturing and industrial environments.
What are the objectives of the Industrial Engineering Technology - Engineering Technology Option?
IET graduates work in manufacturing settings and in service organizations such as hospitals, banks, communications companies, consulting firms and the federal government. The IET program allows graduates to optimize processes, improve productivity and reduce costs for an employer. Skills taught that equip students to accomplish this include ergonomic, cost and engineering economic analysis, computer simulation of manufacturing and service processes, design of product and service production processes, factory and office floor layout, work measurement, statistical process control, six sigma methods, lean manufacturing and service operations, value analysis and supply chain and logistics operations. Students take part in lecture-lab structured courses, on-line course offerings and hands-on demonstrations of course principles. Each student also completes an intern type capstone project course at a local organization. These teaching methods assure that students gain practical knowledge as well as the engineering technology fundamentals. Those who wish to further their studies may transfer to four-year colleges and universities.

This certificate provides the student with the basics of drafting and blueprint reading while developing AutoCAD techniques, and learning software applications that will be used throughout a career in quality. Covering various measurement techniques involving shop measuring instruments; correct use and care. Students learn the application of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles along with the Coordinate Measuring Machine (CMM) which also gives the student an Industry Recognized credential from Hexagon Intelligence for PC-DMIS for CMM 111 software. Basic Quality will prepare the student and give them the skills to improve customer relations, measure products, and processes, analyze current process control and capability and define and audit the quality management system. This certificate meets the needs of a student looking to enter many areas where the needs of basic quality knowledge are required to obtain an entry-level position.
