San Jose State University
Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Technology
The two Industrial Technology
programs in the BSIT degree are designed to provide students with
the opportunity to develop in-depth knowledge and hands-on experience in basic
and advanced industrial processes, procedures, planning, and management.
Our programs include current knowledge and skills for the Green Revolution
in modern business and industry, and to promote sustainability in
industrial operations.
In our Industrial Technology programs, students will:
-
Develop in-depth technical skills - in manufacturing or electronics, computers, or networking.
-
Gain upward mobility at work: Demonstrate strong communication, critical thinking and interpersonal skills.
Become a problem solver: Apply your knowledge of current software and hardware to analyze and solve industrial problems.
Be a team member: Use skills in team development, dynamics, and management to work as team players.
Understand ethical choices and challenges: Demonstrate ethical behavior and concern for colleagues, society, and the environment.
Grow
into top management: Develop familiarity and skills in the organization and management of
industrial enterprises.
Promote Green and Sustainable transitions: Gain skills in Green and Sustainable approaches, to help your company respond to new challenges to clean up our environment, maintain a low environmental profile, and develop sustainable long term approaches to operations.
Gain product design skills: Learn about product life cycle, green product design, and how products are manufactured.
Learn to apply knowledge to the planning and management of industrial and service sector operations.
Industrial Technology students enjoy a very high graduation
rate, with over 90%
finding positions in well-paying jobs that are directly related to their SJSU degree.
