Mission
The primary mission of the Bachelor of Science degree in Industrial Technology is to prepare individuals for technical management careers in business, agriculture, government, and industry. Typically, the graduate finds employment as a manufacturing engineer, process engineer, quality systems engineer, computer networking systems administrator, technical specialist, or plant manager. Positions in industrial and technical sales, product design and testing also offer the graduate abundant opportunities.
Graduate’s Salary
Industrial Technology graduates get technically oriented jobs with an average starting salary of $43,000-$48,000 in the San Joaquin Valley, and $50,000-55,000 in the Bay Area and Los Angeles Area. A recent survey of alumni indicates that after eight years on the job, the typical graduate is making $55,000-80,000 and is in a technical management position.
