Bachelor of Science
Construction Management
Major

Advisors: D. Carns (Coordinator), W. Bender, B. Bain, D.L. Lickteig

The construction management program is fully accredited by the American Council for Construction Education (ACCE), and also is a member of the Associated Schools of Construction (ASC).

This major prepares the graduate for management positions in the construction industry. Recent graduates are working in cost estimating, project scheduling, cost control and project management. Students selecting this major should have a basic background in mathematics, physics and chemistry. In the absence of an appropriate background the student may find it necessary to take MATH 154. Students must be accepted into the major prior to taking upper division CMGT courses. Major applications are accepted on October 15 each year. Students pursuing this degree should work closely with their program advisor to assure that prerequisites for entry into the major have been satisfied. Due to the number of hours in this program, some students may find that this program requires additional time to complete.

Construction management students have the choice to concentrate on one of two different construction types; commercial construction and heavy, civil and highway construction. Students have the flexibility to take their choice of several classes which will reinforce their area of interest and provide the students with applicable skills and knowledge making them more attractive to employers.

Bachelor of Science Electronics Engineering Technology Major with Specialization

The electronic engineering technology degree is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology (TAC/ABET), 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, Telephone
(410) 347-7700.

The technologists graduating from this program are applications oriented, building upon a background of mathematics, science and technology. They interface with engineers at the product level and produce practical, workable results quickly; install and operate technical systems; devise hardware and software from proven concepts; develop and produce products; service machines, programs, and systems; manage production facilities and work groups; and provide support for technical systems hardware and software.

The core of the major’s coursework is electronics, digital principles, programming, math, and science. There are two specializations: computer engineering technology for students specializing in software, and electronic systems for those specializing in hardware.

Students interested in engineering courses after graduation should complete PHY 211,
212, 213 and MATH through differential equations.

Students pursuing this degree should work with the departmental advisors to assure that they have met the prerequisites for the upper-division electives. Due to the number of hours required, some students may find that this program requires additional time to complete.

Bachelor of Science
Industrial Technology Major

Advisors: T. Yoxtheimer (Coordinator),
S. Calahan, L. Holden, C. Johnson

This major prepares the graduate for leadership positions in industry and technical distribution. The program applies algebra, trigonometry and the physical sciences to industrial systems. Students select 40-41 credits by advisement in an area of technical interest. Areas of interest may include technology (general), industrial distribution, industrial electronics, industrial manufacturing, industrial supervision, power systems, cast metals, metal fabrication, non-destructive testing, wood production or other technical areas by departmental advisement. With departmental approval, transfer students from technical programs may elect to use their technical degree as the elective area of interest.
Students pursuing this degree should work closely with their department advisor to assure that they have met the prerequisites for the upper division electives.

Bachelor of Applied Science
Industrial Technology Major

The Bachelor of Applied Science in industrial technology allows persons who have worked in industry for a period of time to enhance their career potential by utilizing their community college education and on the job experience to earn a baccalaureate degree after taking upper division course work. The goal of the program is to provide students with technical skills and knowledge to function as professionals within the industrial environment.

Admission Requirements: Prior to being admitted the student entering the Bachelor of Applied Science Industrial Technology program will have:

an appropriate and approved associate degree as issued by a Washington State Community College;
taken at least 20 credits of general education basic skills courses
completed prerequisites for the program;
taken course equivalencies to IET 160, BUS 221, and EET 221/EET 221LAB;
completed 2000 hours of recent, documented work experience in an industrial technology related job and approved by the department chair.

Bachelor of Science Mechanical Engineering Technology Major with Specialization

Coordinator: C. Johnson

The mechanical engineering technology degree is accredited by the Technology Accreditation Commission of the Accreditation Board for Engineering Technology (TAC/ABET), 111 Market Place, Suite 1050, Baltimore, MD 21202-4012, Telephone
(410) 347-7700.

The industrial and engineering technology department offers a Bachelor of Science degree in mechanical engineering technology (MET) with specializations in mechanical or manufacturing technology. The major provides a broad foundation in the practical application of mechanical engineering principles. Graduates concentrating in mechanical technology may pursue one of the following career paths: machine and product design, product and system evaluation, plant operation and management, technical sales, field service, environmental quality control and energy production. Graduates specializing in manufacturing technology are prepared to enter career paths as tool designers, tool and production planners, numerical control programmers, machine planners, computer assisted machine planners, manufacturing process analysts, quality assurance and technical field representatives.

In the absence of an appropriate background, the student may find it necessary to take IET 165, Engineering Drawing I. Those students who are interested in engineering courses after graduation should complete the engineering physics sequence (PHYS 181, 182, 183) and mathematics through differential equations.

Due to the number of hours in this program, some students may find that this program requires additional time to complete. Students pursuing this degree should work with the departmental advisor to assure that the prerequisites for the upper division electives have been met.
