Welcome to the Industrial and Engineering
Technology department at Central Michigan University. Industrial and Engineering
Technology can be defined as the creative and systematic application of knowledge
utilizing human and natural resources. This involves utilizing tools, equipment,
techniques, processes,
procedures, scientific principles, and management
skills to produce and distribute goods, and services. These factors provide the
information needed to cope with change and to control environmental conditions and their
effect on society and culture.
The department of Industrial and Engineering Technology has the goal to provide high
quality educational programs which emphasize the relationship between theory and practice.
It is the intent of the department to:
1) Relate theory and principles drawn from the basic sciences and/or the
humanities to areas of application within each of the department's academic programs.
2) Foster development of analytical skills necessary to solve real-world
problems through appropriate applications of modern technology.
3) Provide an appropriate professional and career orientation to the
application of knowledge in each of the respective programs.
4) Provide course offerings and internship experiences that are
commensurate with the needs of the program graduates for professional growth and
advancement.
5) Offer courses that stress applications of technology to students in
other disciplines throughout CMU.
