The Department of Technology is an academic unit within the school of Mathematics, Science, and Technology. It is housed in its own building, Dixon Hall, with approximately 35000 square feet of space. For our Industrial Technology students the laboratories in this building have been designed to help them develop professional knowledge of the dynamics of technology and also provide them with a perception of industrial management. The Department operates a large variety of computer equipment for use by its faculty, staff and students. An extensive high-speed network connects computers and peripherals in the department to the campus data network and in turn to the Internet. The primary computer systems are Windows XP based Dell Systems. The department operates approximately seventy computer systems. There are about sixty available for students' use. The remaining computer stations are used by faculty for research. In addition to the stations that are available for general use the department operates numerous peripherals. Users have access to laser printers, color printers, and color pen plotters. Industrial Technology (IT) consists of using technology to process data into useful information upon which decisions or actions can be based, a major world-wide growth area. These technologies include not only the use of software systems, but also a variety of computer-related devices, so no single lab is sufficient to learn about IT. Each of the labs listed below contributes to Industrial Technology and Aviation Science offerings. Click on any lab to obtain a detailed description.
