Bachelor of Science in Technology Management
The 2+2 Technology Management program specifically targets Kentucky Community and Technical College System (KCTCS) associate-level graduates from technology-related programs and is intended as a "completer" program for the associate degree graduates. Students must have graduated with an associate degree from the KCTCS with a technology-related degree. Such associate-level degree programs include: Computer Aided Drafting, Electrical/Electronics Technology, Machine Tool Technology, Applied Process Technology, Quality Management Systems, Manufacturing Systems Technology, Surveying and Mapping, Industrial Maintenance Technology, Wood Manufacturing Technology, Industrial Automation Technology, Industrial Chemical Technology, Instrumentation and Process Control, and Civil Engineering Technology. Students with other technology-related degrees not listed here from KCTCS or other community college systems may petition to qualify under this requirement.
This completer program admits KCTCS graduates who have completed KCTCS general education course requirements.
Program Competencies
The student exiting the program in Technology Management will:
- Apply scientific and technological concepts to solving technological problems;
- Apply theories, concepts, and principles of related disciplines to develop the communication skills required for technology managers;
- Perform as a technical management professional in business, industry, and government;
- Apply concepts and skills developed in a variety of technical and professional disciplines including computer applications, materials properties, production processes, quality control, industrial design and safety;
- Plan, facilitate, and integrate technology and problem solving techniques in the economic enterprise; and
- Engage in applied technical research in order to add to the knowledge of the discipline and to solve problems which surface in the workplace.
