Academic Programs

The major in Technological Systems Management leads to a Bachelor of Science degree. The program integrates a foundation in the natural sciences, engineering, applied sciences, or environmental studies with applications in technology systems, assessment, and management.

The major prepares students for careers in government, industry, or education in positions such as manager of computer network systems, manager of information systems, quality control specialist, systems or environmental analyst, technical sales representative, or technology trainer/educator-in short, all professions and business ventures that are dependent on technological applications and implementation and in which project management is key to success.

PhD in Technology, Policy and Innovation

The PhD program in Technology, Policy and Innovation is designed with an understanding that technology shapes every facet of modern life. At all levels and in all disciplines, careers in industry, government, and education ever more turn on the ability to see and seize the opportunities and address the problems that technology often presents.  One of the program's objectives is to cultivate a group of scholars who will drive national leadership in shaping and assessing the future trajectory of technology. Another key objective is to conduct research on policy and design/planning within intersecting socio-technological domains, including energy and environmental systems, as well as engineering and technology workforce policy.
