Industrial Technology Program


The Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Technology prepares students for a wide variety of technical careers in business, industry and technology education.
 
Industrial Technology majors assume roles as "Industrial Technologists" in a wide variety of industrial and business settings and they understand managerial concepts and principles.  Common to all Industrial Technologists is the focus on continuous improvement in the areas of productivity and quality. 

Industrial Technology graduates also find rewarding careers teaching others about our technological world.  They do this in both formal and informal educational settings in schools, business and industry.  In school settings, technology teachers are on the cutting edge, teaching courses such as: Introduction to Technology, Principles of Technology and Introduction to Engineering.  Here in California and around the country, there are many teaching positions open and available for Industrial Technology education graduates.
 
In addition to the professional and managerial courses of study, students majoring in the Industrial Technology choose either an industry track (managerial/supervisory) or technology education track (teaching) and one of five concentration areas of study from a selection which includes: Advanced Manufacturing and Automation, Computer Integrated Design, Power/Energy/Transportation, Internetworking, and Graphic Communications.  Each of these concentrations of study within the major prepares you so that you can contribute almost immediately as an Industrial Technologist, a person who applies and manages technology in today's high-tech environment or as a successful Technology Education teacher. 

The Industrial Technology program at Cal State L.A. is composed of community college transfers, high school students and industry professional interested in continuing their education. Classes are offered in the morning, afternoon and evening to accommodate various schedules.
