General Information

Financial Support Opportunities

In addition to general university scholarships and student employment, the School of Technology offers scholarships, an academic internship program with industry, and a variety of departmental part-time jobs such as research assistant, new-product developer, lab assistant, paper grader, electronics technician, maintenance assistant, computer operator, etc.

Academic Internships

Industrial experience in the major before graduation is strongly encouraged. Qualified students may enroll in an academic internship, which must be approved before the actual experience. A formal report and employer evaluation are required.

Transfer Credit

When transferring into the school, students should meet with an assigned advisor before registering for classes to evaluate their technical courses and to get help in planning their schedule for completing their remaining course work.

Extracurricular Activities

Students are encouraged to join student chapters of national professional organizations affiliated with their major area of study. Student interaction, leadership, and career awareness are important to engineering and technology studies. All majors are encouraged to not only become members and actively participate in these chapters but also to support field trips, guest speakers, banquets, and program activities.

Professional Program Acceptance

Students must be accepted into the professional program before they may take upper-division courses in any of the programs. To apply, students must have completed the preprofessional requirements for their major program with a minimum grade of C– in each course. A professional program application (available from the College of Engineering and Technology Advisement Center, 264 CB) must be completed and submitted to the advisement center. Acceptance is based primarily upon the grade point average received in preprofessional and other major courses, including all grades in repeated courses. Normal professional program application deadlines are June 1, October 1, and February 1, although applications may be considered at other times for extenuating circumstances.

Academic Standards and Continuance

On gaining acceptance into the professional program, students must maintain a minimum university cumulative grade point average of 2.0. Students who accumulate more than 6 credit hours of grades below C– in professional program courses may not continue in the program or graduate until courses are retaken to reduce the unacceptable credit to 6 or fewer hours. A professional program course may not be retaken more than once.

Student Advising

We strongly encourage students to visit with the school advisor at least every year, and preferably every semeter, to ensure that they are making appropriate progress in the program and taking courses in the appropriate sequence.

The Discipline

Information technology (IT), the technical discipline that solves problems using computing resources, will be taught through a combination of strong theoretical course work and practical application to ensure that all three aspects of the technological educational triumvirate (knowing, thinking, doing) are included. IT professionals from this discipline are competent to design computing systems with due consideration of the performance and compatibility aspects of hardware, software, and digital communication and networking. They can visualize, structure, and implement complex technical solutions.
Professionals in this discipline are also proficient in understanding user needs and communicating technical issues to the organizations and people affected by the computer system. They are "anxiously engaged" in lifelong learning to understand and wisely use new technologies as they become available. Broadly educated at the university level, these professionals have acquired balance in their lives and depth of understanding in technology and its relevance in the broader world context. Because of the influence and leadership roles we expect graduates to have, our students will be encouraged to develop high moral and ethical standards as well as being conversant with and compliant with professional performance standards.

Career Opportunities

Career opportunities are plentiful and rewarding in both large and small companies in technical fields. Graduates will find careers in computer networking, testing, embedded intelligence, digital communications, computer system development, and integration.

General Information

Technical Electives

Six upper-division credit hours of technical courses are required. Typically selected from courses in the major or other approved technical courses, these electives must be approved by an advisor prior to taking them.
Students are also strongly advised to strengthen their degree by using additional credit hours to fulfill a minor or gain greater depth in a focused area of the discipline. Some suggested areas are electronic systems, computer science, industrial design, manufacturing, or business leadership.

High School Background

Recommended high school courses include computer programming, electronics, mathematics, and science courses.

Transfer Students

This degree is designed to have some similarity to computer science and electrical and computer engineering courses in the first few semesters. Students can transfer from these programs in two-year colleges or from other four-year programs.

The Discipline

Manufacturing is an exciting and rewarding discipline that has significant impact on a society's standard of living and economic independence. There is an increasing demand for manufacturing professionals who are knowledgeable and skilled in the management, methods, technologies, equipment, and tooling needed to produce quality and affordable products. Such individuals must also be able to effectively coordinate the procurement, installation, and start-up of production operations. Few professions encompass such a broad range of activities and utilize so many skills.
Students in manufacturing learn creative and analytical skills that will enable them to quickly diagnose and solve manufacturing problems. They also develop interpersonal and communication skills that will prepare them to work as part of an engineering team and effectively interact with vendors, management, and production personnel. In addition, they receive hands-on training in modern lab facilities and learn to use computers to design, analyze, implement, and control manufacturing operations.
The manufacturing engineering technology program combines a technical accredited degree with an optional business management minor to prepare graduates for technical and management positions within a manufacturing organization. Graduates may further their technical and managerial skills by pursuing either a master of science in technology or a master of business administration.

Career Opportunities

Career opportunities in manufacturing are plentiful and rewarding. Typical entry-level job titles include manufacturing engineer, and production supervisor. New graduates are typically hired into technical positions but have the opportunity to quickly move into management positions.
The job outlook for manufacturing graduates is bright and should continue to be strong into the future. When one considers that every human-made object around us is the product of some form of manufacturing, it is easy to see that manufacturing is an integral part of our society and generates an ever-growing workforce. Progressive companies in industries worldwide are always on the lookout for qualified individuals who can improve the quality and productivity of their manufacturing operations.

General Information

The manufacturing program is designed to provide simple transfer from local feeder schools, including Ricks College and UVSC. Students transferring from these or other schools should meet with college and program advisors as soon as possible to evaluate transfer credits and plan the student's BYU curriculum.
