INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY (IT) Courses

101 Biotechnical Studies (Class 3, 3 cr.)
Students are introduced to the fields of biotechnology, bioengineering, biomedical engineering, and bio-molecular engineering. Students design, fabricate and evaluate devices that solve biotechnical problems.

102 Aerospace Studies (Class 3, 3 cr.)
This course introduces students to the world of aeronautics, flight, and engineering. Students apply scientific and engineering concepts to design materials and processes that measure, repair, improve, and extend aeronautical systems.

103 Exploring Civil Engineering and Architecture (Class 3, 3 cr.)
Students learn various aspects of civil engineering and architecture, apply their knowledge to designing and development of a commercial property. Students learn about documenting their project, problem-solving, and communications in the civil engineering community.

105 Introduction to Engineering Design (Class 3, 3 cr.)
This course develops students' problem solving skills, with emphasis placed upon the concept of developing a three-dimensional model of an object. Students focus on the application of visualization processes and tools currently used in the design and manufacturing environments.

106 Digital Electronics (Class 3, 3 cr.)
This course is the study of applied digital logic. Students will study the application of electronic logic circuits and apply Boolean logic to the solution of problems. Students will design circuits, export their design to a printed program that generates printed circuit boards, and construct the design using electronic components.

107 Principles of Engineering (Class 3, 3 cr.) P: IT 105
This course explores various engineering systems and manufacturing processes. Students examine how the field of engineering technology addresses social and political consequences of technological change.

108 Computer Inegrated Manufacturing (Class 3, 3 cr.) P: IT 105
This course builds on students' solid modeling skills to develop manufactured products. Students evaluate products using mass property analysis, make appropriate modifications, and use prototyping equipment to produce three-dimensional models of the solutions.

109 Engineering Design and Development (Class 3, 3 cr.) P: IT 105, 106, 107 and 108
This course builds on students' solid modeling skills to develop manufactured products. Students evaluate products using mass property analysis, make appropriate modifications, and use prototyping equipment to produce three-dimensional models of the solutions.

114 Problem-Solving in Manufacturing (Class 2, Lab 2, or Class 3, 3 cr.) P: IET 104. Field trips required. For IT majors only or consent of instructor.
A study of practices used in industry to determine the optimal solution of a given problem. The use of role-playing, computer simulation, and case study analysis will be an integral part of the course.

190 Topics in Industial Technology (1-3 cr.)
Hours, credit, and subject matter to be arranged by staff. This is not for independent study.

191 Supervised Work Experience (3 cr.)
Supervised work experience directed toward providing background and orientation rather than depth in a particular specialty. Craft, technical, industrial, and participation in the conduct of industrial training programs are typical examples of acceptable experiences. This course may be repeated for up to a total of six credits.

214 Introduction to Lean Manufacturing (3 cr.)
Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to eliminating non-value added activities throughout a production system. Five basic principles characterize a lean production system: value definition, value stream mapping, flow optimization, pull production, and continuous improvement.

230 Elements of Distribution (Class 2, Lab 2, or Class 3, 3 cr.)
A study of types and systems of industrial distribution. Emphasis is on in-plant shipping and receiving functions; modes of distribution; functions of, and services provided by, distributors. Consideration also is given to the nature of career opportunities.

332 Warehouse Management and Inventory Control (Class 2, Lab 2, or Class 3, 3 cr.) P: IT 230 Field trips may be required.
A course designed to develop understanding of types of warehouses, methods of organizing the warehouse environment, and determining efficient inventory control procedures. Special emphasis will be placed on case studies and computer data management.

342 Introduction to Statistical Quality (Class 2, Lab 2, or Class 3, 3 cr.) P: MATH M125 & M126. Field trips may be required.
Basic concepts of quality systems in business and manufacturing settings are presented. Basic statistical methods as applied to quality control and an introduction to sampling plans are included.

371 Instructional Planning and Evaluation (Class 2, Lab 2, 3 cr.)
Field trips may be required. Students gain experience in detrmining content and writing instructional objectives. Emphasis is placed on developing good testing instruments and evaluating those instruments as they relate to measuring student achievement in the cognitive, affective, andpsychomotor domains.

375 Methods of Teaching Technology Education (Class 2, Lab 2, or Class 3, 3 cr.) P: IT 371 Field trips may be required.
Students identify a variety of instructional techniques appropriate for teaching technology education subjects. Students plan lessons and develop evaluation instruments to determine student achievement. Methodological insights and understanding for teaching technical subject matter is stressed.

381 Total Productive Maintenance (Class 2, Lab 2, or Class 3, 3 cr.) P: IT 342 or IET 204, PHYS P201. Field trips may be required.
This course is a study of the role and scope of total productive maintenance (TPM) in manufacturing. The three types of maintenance activities: corrective, predictive, and their associated quantitative techniques are studied. Reliability and queuing theory are discussed.  Team projects are required.

385 Industrial Ergonomics (Class 2, Lab 2, or Class 3, 3 cr.) P: MATH M125 & M126 and junior standing in IT or consent of instructor. Field trips may be required.
A course designed to focus on work design and ergonomics in manufacturing. Specific attention will be focused on introducing the terminology and the techniques used in work design, and on the fundamental concepts embodied in industrial ergonomics. During scheduled laboratory times, exercises will permit the student to apply the concepts of industrial ergonomics.

442 Production Planning (Class 2, Lab 2, or Class 3, 3 cr.) P: IT 114, MET 242 or consent of instructor. Field trips may be required.
A study of industrial organization and management, research and development, production, personnel, and sales. Examples of the procedures necessary to provide a product or service are included.

446 Advanced Statistical Quality Control (Class 2, Lab 2, 3 cr.) P: IT 342
A study of industrial organization and management, research and development, production, personnel, and sales. Examples of the procedures necessary to provide a product or service are included.

Notes: 

Most academic programs require a working knowledge of algebra. OLS courses previously carried the SPV prefix. CGT department courses previously carried the TG (Technical Graphics) prefix   Following each course number and title, the number of hours of credit given for each course is indicated in parentheses.  These abbreviations are also used in the descriptions:      

Abbreviations:

"Recit." refers to a problem-solving, Recitation session. "P" refers to the course Prerequisite(s)  (other courses that must be successfully completed prior to enrollment).  "C" refers to the course Corequisite(s)  (other courses which must be enrolled in during the same academic sessions).  "R" refers to course Recommendation(s) prior to enrollment, but are not necessary for enrollment.
