Industrial Technology answers complex questions, such as how can we improve safety, quality, productivity and service? What products or services should we offer? What price should we charge? What materials and methods should we use? How can we best motivate and reward people? How much inventory do we need? Where should we locate our plants, stores and warehouse? This major prepares you to work effectively in the engineer technologist team and to assume management responsibilities.
