Career Opportunities
Industrial Technology. It is projected that industrial technology graduates
will be in high demand for many years. The reason for this demand is that
manufacturing- and service-oriented industries are reorganizing facilities
and personnel to facilitate contemporary management systems and technologies.
Industry needs qualified technical managers who can contribute to better
product reliability, efficiency, and improved productivity. Examples of
positions held by industrial technology graduates are assistant plant engineer,
fleet service representative, manufacturing engineer, operations supervisor,
production planning analyst, production scheduling coordinator, and quality
control supervisor.
Industrial and Technology Education Teachers. Teachers are in short supply.
The need will become even greater as new curriculum programs emerge in industrial
and technological education. This demand is attributed to emerging technologies
and expanded applications for industrial and technological education.
