Why Study Industrial and Engineering Technology?
Students enter the fields of industrial and engineering
technology to intensify and broaden their knowledge within
engineering, engineering technologies, and applied
industrial arts and technologies. They will gain preparation
for engineering and industrial careers in a variety of
technical, supervisory, or managerial capacities, or for a
secondary teaching certificate leading to a teaching career.
Courses in this field contribute to their technical and
professional growth.

Industrial
and Engineering Technology at CMU
Our department offers a variety of choices to students
interested in careers in engineering, engineering
technology, and industrial technology. Our department also
offers the major in industrial education for students
interested in teaching careers. Departmental majors and
minors reflect the diversity of our programs. As you select
from our majors and minors remember that you are pursuing a
degree, and must meet all the degree requirements as well as
the major and minor requirements given on the following
pages.
Graduate Study: A Master of Arts degree in industrial
education with an option for teaching students with special
needs may be earned by industrial education teachers,
special education teachers, counselors, and other
professionals in public schools.
The Master of Arts degree in industrial management and
technology is available for individuals who wish to continue
professional development in occupational areas of industrial
supervision, industrial management, industrial production,
industrial technology, or engineering technology.
Refer to the Bulletin, College of Graduate Studies,
or advisor for additional information.

Admission, Retention, and Termination Standards
The
industrial and engineering technology degree programs
consist of extensive laboratory work which involves a close
physical relationship with tools, moving machinery and
electrical equipment necessitating specific safe practices.
Examples include voltage checks, use of safety guards, and
continuous observation of associated visual alarms, caution
signs and auditory signals.
Students pursuing one of our majors or minors are required
to meet with an IET advisor during the first semester of
attendance at CMU.
A maximum of six semester hours of credit/no credit may be
used on departmental majors (excluding electrical and
mechanical engineering) or minors. Credit/no credit courses
are identified in the course offering guides.
Engineering majors are strongly recommended to meet with
their advisor at least once a semester to discuss the
student's progress in meeting degree requirements.
Prerequisites will be strictly enforced for all engineering
coursework.
Teaching
Major and Minors:
Teacher Certification: Grades K-12 certification requires a
teaching major and minor in industrial education. Grades
7-12 certification requires either a 42 hour industrial
education major and a teaching minor from another department
or a 27 hour industrial education minor and a teaching major
in another department.
Vocational endorsement (Certification) is available for
students who plan to become industrial education teachers.
Students who plan to qualify for a vocational endorsement
should consult with the department’s vocational
coordinator and meet the following requirements: A) Complete
two years (4000 clock hours) of relevant and recent work
experience in the occupational area of vocational
endorsement, and B) Complete an approved technical major or
minor, and C) Possess a baccalaureate degree. Transfer
students must consult with an advisor before registering to
avoid taking duplicate courses.
A minimum 2.7 GPA (B-) must be earned in all teaching
majors and teaching minors.
