Industrial and Systems Engineering Technology
Industrial and Sytems 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 and Systems 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 and Systems Engineering Technology Degree option?
ISET graduates work in manufacturing settings and in service organizations such as hospitals, banks, communications companies, consulting firms and the federal government. The ISET 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, online 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.
