Instructional Facilities
Modern department facilities are equipped with robots, numerical control machines, programmable logic controllers, flexible manufacturing cells, and computer graphic workstations. IBM's selection of California State University, Fresno to join the National Computer-Integrated Manufacturing (CIM) Alliance has significantly enhanced the department's ability to deliver instruction using state-of-the-art technology.
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.
