Degree Description

The Lamar University Bachelor of Science Degree in Industrial Technology (B.S. IT) deals not only with things but also with people, finance, information and the environment. Industrial Technology answers complex questions: How can we improve safety, quality, productivity and service? What products or services should we offer? What price should we charge? What materials and methods should we use? How can we best motivate and reward people? How much inventory do we need? Where should we locate our plants, stores and warehouse?
