Industrial Technology
Minor
Program Overview
You like to tinker with things to make them better, faster or more efficient. You're fascinated by how products are developed, too. Our industrial technology minor allows you to explore both realms of engineering and process efficiencies. It's the flexibility you need in a minor to help you determine your ultimate career path or broaden your knowledge.
Program Snapshot
Why This Program & What You'll Learn
Our industrial technology minor allows you several options to explore the use of engineering and manufacturing technology to make production faster, easier and more efficient, while staying on course with your chosen career path.
The minor is also helpful if you're still exploring what you want to study. For example, if you're currently focused on engineering, you can access engineering technology courses that provide applied and hands-on experiences.
If you're an engineering technology student, you can broaden your horizons and explore design and development by taking courses focused on conventional engineering principles and learnings.
This interplay between these two related — yet different — disciplines helps you make an easy and seamless transition to your ultimate vocation.
Program Highlights
As a student in our industrial technology minor program, you'll:
- Broaden your education and skills in the engineering or engineering technology course that interests you most.
- Gain valuable experiences to help you determine your final career path.
- Fulfill some of your core courses required for either the CMU engineering or engineering technology major.
