1. Educate and Inspire University Men and Women o Educate the Whole Student
Students will be required to prepare reports with manufacturing and production laboratory projects to improve written and oral communication skills.
Oral presentations can be implemented into course work to improve their communication skills by allowing students to upload their oral PowerPoint presentation videos to Blackboard.
The number of presentations and written reports will be tracked for each course.
Faculty will need to be trained by Department of Academic Transformation and obtain input from industrial advisory board members for topics required for reports.
o Develop Exemplary Skills in Our Student Industrial advisory board members will
be queried to learn what type of equipment and skill sets are required of graduates of the programs.
Equipment and additional training will be added to course work as needed.
Funding for resources will be obtained through department and university cost centers as well as donations from industry and possible research grants.

hire new faculty to support the
Industrial Technology program at the
Longview Center
Build laboratory facilities and
purchase new equipment for the
new Business Building that will be
safe, more in tune with industry’s
needs and acceptable for ATMAE
accreditation.
Continue to integrate industry
certifications into undergraduate
curriculum so students will
require little or no training when hired
by employers. Funding requirements are
listed in previous strategy
Obtain ATMAE accreditation for the
undergraduate emphasis in Surveying
and Mapping.
Obtain space and equipment for the
new Business Building to allow for
nanomaterials safety training and
further space for research grants.

o Provide the Highest Quality Graduate
Education Offer doctoral courses in Technology
Management by joining a consortium with Indiana State University.
A minimum of three online doctoral courses must be offered a year to be part of the consortium.
Students will be awarded a degree from Indiana State University, however, all of the course work is offered online.
A new faculty member would be required to cover the additional course offerings. This would attract more people into the program and also allow the department to grow new faculty for its expanding program, hopefully eliminating the need to hire third and fourth choice faculty search candidates in the future
