Applied Technology, B.S.
|
|
The Bachelor of Science in Applied Technology is a 121-credit interdisciplinary undergraduate degree designed to prepare students for immediate employment and long-term career advancement in applied technical fields. The program integrates applied engineering technology, systems thinking, computing, and professional practice with a strong emphasis on hands-on learning and real-world application. Students complete a two-semester applied technology capstone project that demonstrates integration of knowledge and skills.
Program Educational Objectives:
Graduates of the Applied Technology program will:
- Be prepared for entry-level and early-career employment in applied technical, systems, and operations-oriented roles across technology-driven industries.
- Apply interdisciplinary technical knowledge to the implementation, integration, and improvement of applied technology systems.
- Demonstrate professional communication, ethical responsibility, teamwork, and project management skills in technical environments.
- Engage in lifelong learning, professional development, certification, or continued education in applied technology and related fields.
Student Learning Outcomes:
Upon graduation, students will be able to:
- Apply technical principles from engineering technology, computing, and systems disciplines to solve applied technology problems.
- Implement and evaluate applied technology solutions that meet specified technical and operational requirements.
- Communicate effectively with technical and non-technical audiences through written, oral, and graphical formats.
- Recognize ethical, professional, safety, and societal responsibilities in applied technology contexts and make informed decisions.
- Function effectively as a member of a technical team by contributing to planning, coordination, and task execution.
- Conduct applied testing, data collection, and analysis to evaluate system performance and inform decision-making.
- Acquire and apply new technical knowledge using appropriate learning strategies and industry-relevant resources.
