The Department of Engineering Technology's mission is to equip students for technical and professional roles in industry and education. This goal is achieved by dedicated faculty delivering specialized programs with a strong technical emphasis. Graduates are ready to take on professional roles in manufacturing, construction, concrete industry management, computer-aided technologies, electronics, and education. Sixteen modern technical laboratories train students in the methods and processes used by leading global industries.
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Concrete Industry Management (CIM) readies students for professional careers in the concrete construction sector. This industry seeks graduates skilled in concrete material technology and techniques, capable of managing personnel and systems to advance concrete-related products and technologies, and well-versed in fundamental construction management principles. CIM students study concrete material science, concrete technology, concrete products, construction methods, and complete a mandatory business administration minor. CIM graduates discover diverse opportunities in the global $1 trillion concrete industry, with roles in project management, estimating, sales, plant operations, technical services, logistics, quality control and assurance, environmental and regulatory compliance, and safety. The Concrete Industry Management program at Texas State University holds accreditation from the Association of Technology, Management, and Applied Engineering (ATMAE).
