The Industrial Management degree program is designed to provide a solid background in manufacturing as well as hands-on technical training in advanced industrial areas such as robotics, programmable control, and computer numerical control (CNC). This technical training includes operational topics such as quality control, production and material control, business management, and supervision in an effort to train well-rounded graduates for careers in engineering technology, quality, production management, and supervision.
The goal of this degree is to fill the growing need for workers who can operate on both the technical side and business side of industry. This will provide more growth opportunities for those wishing to focus on a more well-rounded training necessary for future advancement.
Is Industrial Management a Good Fit for You?
If you are interested in courses within Industrial Automation then pursuing Industrial Management can be a great option with long-term benefits. The two degrees are compatible because they share many of the same courses. The Industrial Automation degree provides a strong technical background for engineering technicians, programmers, and others in the automation field. However, the Industrial Management degree path would provide training more consistent with those supporting these functions instead of actual programming and installation. These can include support functions on the factory floor or office support functions like quality control and production control that support industrial automation.
If this sounds like more your speed then Industrial Management is right for you!
