BS in Technology Management
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 the program, students concentrate in one of the areas listed below.
Industrial Management Concentration
This concentration is designed to prepare graduates for leadership and management positions in a wide variety of technical environments. Students in this concentration take courses to understand the many organizational elements and functions composing industrial operations. Students completing this program will develop a broad-based, cross-sectional/functional understanding as a "generalist" management professional. This concentration is available to transfer students with an associate degree in a technical discipline and nontraditional students with related technical experience and training equivalent to an associate degree.
Precision Manufacturing Concentration
This concentration is designed to prepare graduates for leadership and management positions in a computer-intensive/automated manufacturing environment. Students in this concentration take management oriented courses in areas such as project management, industrial organization, facility planning, production control, quality, cost analysis & control, safety, accounting, and information systems. This concentration is available to transfer students with an associate degree in a manufacturing discipline and nontraditional students with related technical experience and training equivalent to an associate degree.
Information and Communications Technology Concentration
This concentration is designed to prepare graduates for leadership and management positions in a computer applications-oriented environment integral to most organizations. Students in this concentration take courses that emphasize theory and application relating to the management and operation of computer and technical systems used for communications, information management, control technology, and publishing. Students completing this program will develop a focused understanding of computer applications-based and data/information-intensive operations. Students completing this program may also elect to complete minors in computer science, business administration, economics, or studio art.This concentration is available to four year students and transfer students with an associate degree in an information related discipline and nontraditional students with related technical experience and training equivalent to an associate degree in an information related discipline.
Construction Management Concentration
This concentration is designed to prepare graduates for advancement opportunities in construction-related industries primarily as superintendents, project managers, estimators, construction managers, or project executives. Students in this concentration take courses that emphasize theories and applications of construction contract administration, including: planning, managing, directing, organizing, and controlling construction operations. 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. To satisfy the technical competency requirements, nontraditional students may complete a portfolio demonstrating the completion of college-level work and specialized training that can be fully documented and qualifies for transfer credit into USM by means of a portfolio assessment. Transfer students may satisfy the technical competency requirements, through the completion of a construction-related associate's degree program from a regionally accredited community college or simply transfer into the 4 year course of study.
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. 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.
