Curriculum Development in Industrial Technology: Materials Science and Processes Dr. John M. Mativo Ohio Northern University Department of Technological StudiesAbstractThe goal of Industrial Technology curriculum is to develop graduates that will enter theworkforce with the best knowledge and skills or pursue further education having a strongbackground. In general, the curriculum requires students to take a materials course.Current practices in both metallic and nonmetallic materials fields have been eithertheoretical with very minimal practical application such as in Engineering programs orheavy on the practice oriented
, industrial and systems engineering (ISE) has foundits applications on the evolvement and industrial advancement of our society, touching almostevery industry domain, from automobile manufacturing, to semiconductor production andpackaging, to various service sectors, such as healthcare, entertainment, hospitality andtransportation industries. ISE curriculum and educational practice, as a key component in thedynamic cycle of knowledge discovery and dissemination, needs to be frequently re-evaluatedand the corresponding ISE curriculum needs to be re-designed or re-developed to address theactual and dynamic industry needs. Moreover, such changes will ensure that ISE graduates areequipped with adequate “weapons” that they could use to tackle problems in

An area of emphasis is a specific focus within a major which is more extensive andrequires more course work than an area of specialization. The Manufacturing Engineering optionis an interdisciplinary option in conjunction with the departments of Industrial and SystemsEngineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Science, and Materials Science, and wasdeveloped under the Southern California Coalition for Education in Manufacturing Engineering,of which USC is a member

Thus the firstand foremost consideration is that the degree plan must be tailored to satisfy therequirements of local industry, national interests and the needs of the community atlarge. In order to achieve these goals educators have to make a number of crucialdecisions the most important of which are the following: i) Specialization or generalization? If specialization then at which semester level should it start.ii) Which new topics should be included and which topics should be excluded?iii) What should the depth and breadth of coverage be?In addition to internal constraints, consideration must be given to the rapiddevelopment of technology and society
