BS in Technology Management - Concentration in Electro-Mechanical Systems
Students in the Technology Management degree program will become technically oriented management professionals who plan, direct, organize, and control operations in a wide variety of industrial, business, and service organizations. In that program, students concentrate in one of the areas listed below.
Electro-Mechanical Systems Concentration
This concentration is designed to prepare graduates for career leadership and management positions in computer-controlled/automated, equipment-intensive environments. Students in this concentration take courses that emphasize theory and application relating to the design, control, and integration of electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic components and assemblies.
This concentration is also available to nontraditional and transfer students with enough related technical experience or coursework to satisfy the technical competency requirements of the concentration or to students with an associate's degree in an electricity/electronic, mechanical or computer related area. See the Requirements section, below.
A Minor in Electro-Mechanical Systems and a Certificate in Electro Mechanical Systems are also available.
Students completing this program will develop a focused understanding of power and control systems utilized in industrial, environmental protection, construction, medical, transportation, alternate energy, and military sectors.
All students must meet University Core curriculum requirements and additional Departmental requirements. Specific requirements for bachelor of science degree programs offered through the Department of Technology are indicated in the following tables. A minimum of 15 credit hours or 5 courses must be taken in the Department.
Students in the technology management degree program will be required to complete a senior assessment as part of the graduation requirement.
