STOP here for just a minute, and let's talk about jobs, careers and technology. Just who was it that designed and produced those revolutionary hybrid cars that improve mileage; those new solar cells that increase efficiency; those incredible cell phones that seem to do everything; and those amazing medical devices that save lives? The answer is, it was many people: research scientists, engineers, technicians, salesmen, managers and a whole plethora of other support personnel. What's important for career hunters like yourself is that all of these people could have come from this one Department of Technology Studies. Look us over, right here at this site, and perhaps you will see something that will change your life.

First of all we have options—many options—because we know that when it comes to jobs in technology, one size does not fit all. Therefore, we gave this wide-ranging Department of Technology Studies the three major options listed to the left. Click on Industrial Technology (IT) and see how you can obtain a Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology preparing you for a wide variety of technology jobs in targeted high growth sectors; click on Design Drafting (DRAFT) and see how you can learn the latest CAD/CAM design software; and click on Computer Networking Electronics Technology (CNET) if the world of computers and networking strike you as especially attractive options. To be sure, these options are not easy; but that's exactly what makes them all so valuable.
