Manufacturing Technology Concentration

The Industrial Technology and Management program (INTM) at Illinois Tech offers graduate and undergraduate specializations in Manufacturing Technology (MT). Courses are offered live at Illinois Tech’s Mies Campus in Chicago and are also available online. MT responds to the needs of industry for innovative solutions and continuous improvement in manufacturing processes, mechanical technology, quality control, and information systems. Students learn to manage employees, equipment, materials, information, and energy to solve problems, increase profitability, and ensure smooth, effective, and efficient production.

The MT specialization is for students with prior training, education, and experience in technical fields such as industrial production, engineering and electro-mechanical technology, manufacturing and precision machine technology, integrated systems, and industrial maintenance. Students completing the MT specialization may advance into careers as production managers, manufacturing engineers, operations managers, project managers, and quality supervisors.
