Industrial Technology and Management Admission Requirements Candidates must complete an application for undergraduate admission and submit official transcripts from all colleges attended, one letter of recommendation, and a personal statement. The BINTM program nominally requires the transfer of 63 semester hours as outlined in the following admission requirements: Mathematics Six credit hours at the level of college algebra or above. Computer Science Three credit hours of computer programming. Natural Science Eleven credit hours of science or engineering courses. Relevant courses include physics, chemistry, or biology (physics highly recommended). Up to six credit hours may be in graphics/drafting. Two sequential courses must be completed in a single field and the third course must be in a different field. In some cases, certain technology courses might be applied to this requirement. Humanities and Social Sciences Twelve credit hours. Humanities courses include literature, philosophy (except logic), and history. Social sciences typically include anthropology, geography, political science, psychology, sociology, and economics. A minimum of three credit hours in humanities and six credit hours in social sciences is required. Technical coursework Thirty-one credit hours. (Candidates with adequate college credit but lacking the technical coursework may qualify for admission based on a strong interest and/or relevant industrial experience.) Industrial Technology and Management Curriculum A total of 126 semester hours are required for the Bachelor’s degree, consisting of 63 credit hours (21 courses) of junior- and senior-level courses completed at IIT and the 63 transfer credit hours required for admission. Students may attend on a part-time or full-time basis, understanding that INTM courses are generally offered evenings to accomodate full-time work schedules of students. The core curriculum (14 courses) emphasizes proficiency in the essential functions of industrial enterprises with a focus on management-related topics. This coursework includes upper-level humanities and social sciences electives and two Interprofessional Projects (IPRO). Students also complete three technical electives and four specialization electives, which provide in-depth coverage of specific aspects of industrial organizations and their related sectors. Students have the option to complete a formal specialization or alternatively to choose electives from more than one specialization area. Five specializations are available: Industrial Facilities (IF) Covers construction, project management, and renovation and maintenance of buildings, facilities, and equipment. Industrial Sustainability (ST) Covers a range of issues in sustainability, critical material resources, and alternative energies. Manufacturing Technology (MT) Covers manufacturing processes for metals, chemical, and electronic industries, information systems, and quality control. Supply Chain Management (SCM) Covers supply chain management, warehousing and distribution, purchasing, transportation, and export/import activities. Telecommunication Technology (TT) Covers management and maintenance of data networks, network configurations, network security, and evolving technologies, including voice over IP. 110
