The ETSU Industrial Technology (IT) concentration is a manufacturing and management-oriented
curriculum with studies drawn from a variety of disciplines related to industry. The IT program is
designed to educate students to be managers in industry and other technological settings.
Graduates will have gained fundamental technical knowledge and also an understanding of the supervisory
and management techniques used throughout industry. Technical competence is developed through various
laboratory courses in the Department of Technology & Geomatics, while management and knowledge
are gained with select courses from the ETSU College of Business & Technology Department of
Management and Marketing.
Industrial Technology graduates develop skills to help solve managerial, technical, and production problems
and find numerous employment opportunities in a wide range of industrial settings. Prior to graduation,
qualified students may take advantage of numerous local and/or regional
Co-op (for ETSU credit) or part time/full time (non-credit)
employment opportunities to earn money and gain experience.
The Industrial Technology program has the widest range of technology (ENTC) and general electives of any
of the Department's concentrations. ENTC and general electives should be selected with the goal of
developing a depth of understanding in one or two technical areas. Students are encouraged to select elective
courses from manufacturing, electronics, design graphics, construction, computer & information science,
management/marketing, surveying/mapping, &/or environmental health.
Transfering Students
Because of this program's broad focus across many different industrial sectors, many transfer students
find that the Industrial Technology has the most flexibility of any of the Technology Department's
concentrations in assigning allowable transfer credit. Students interested in the IT program should contact
